SUNON: Pioneering Innovative Liquid Cooling Solutions for Modern Data Centers

[TheLostSwede]

In the era of high-tech development and the ever-increasing demand for data processing power, data centers are consuming more energy and generating excess heat. As a global leader in thermal solutions, SUNON is at the forefront, offering a diverse range of cutting-edge liquid cooling solutions tailored to advanced data centers equipped with high-capacity CPU and GPU computing for AI, edge, and cloud servers.

SUNON's liquid cooling design services are ideally suited for modern data centers, generative AI computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. These solutions are meticulously customized to fit the cooling space and server density of each data center. With their compact yet comprehensive design, they guarantee exceptional cooling efficiency and reliability, ultimately contributing to a significant reduction in a client's total cost of ownership (TCO) in the long term. In the pursuit of net-zero emissions standards, SUNON's liquid cooling solutions play a pivotal role in enhancing corporate sustainability. They o ff er a win-win scenario for clients seeking to transition toward greener and more digitalized operations.




SUNON presents a wide array of cooling modules and systems, including direct cooling solutions, rear-door heat exchangers (RDHx), and reservoir and pumping units (RPU). For instance, SUNON's open-loop direct cooling modules have been seamlessly integrated into various rack server applications. These solutions are engineered to align with system structures, ensuring a unique thermal contact configuration between surfaces, curvature of water pipes, and coolants. They cater to servers with high-performance cooling requirements, such as thermal contact resistance (Rth) below 0.04 ℃ /W, liquid flow of 1.25 LPM, and TDP of up to 700 W. Notably, these cooling solutions are fully compatible with Intel dual Socket Eagle Stream (EGS) Processors, thus enhancing operational efficiency.

I wish more consumer watercooling and AIOs were more like this - functional, well-made, cost-effective.

It's almost impossible to buy liquid cooling components these days that aren't at least 80% RGBLED and acrylic designed for looks first and performance is just a side note. The cost of two loops that are functionally identical can differ by 500% because of all the needless bling that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual watercooling.

With AIOs, the more you spend, the more bling you get - but for the most part the entry level AIO system has the same anemic little Asetek pump and block as the most expensive stuff.

Have to agree, simple all metal designs, industrial looks, totally functional, nothing else.

I use Sunon's MagLev blower fans in my rig. Solid, PBT plastic fins. Not the quietest monsters but absolutely unkillable.

No RGB? Watch greedy companies mark those up as PROsumer product, even if actually cheaper to make.

Ye, No RGB, it is non useful for water cooling parts.

 

[freeagent]

I love Sunon products, they are awesome.

Except it won't be cheaper to make. Consumer stuff, especially gamer stuff, isn't made to nearly the same quality level, standards, testing, and on and on as professional or enterprise grade stuff.

That's because if some RGB gaming device fails it doesn't matter. Nothing of value was lost. It's strictly a buyer beware market where looks matter more than anything and all your customers aren't important. But when you are installing things into workstations and servers looks don't matter, your buyers are super savvy, and no amount of failure rates are remotely acceptable.

Not being able to half ass your designs, having to meet standards, and all that testing costs $$$$$$$$$. It's also mandatory in the professional and enterprise level and those purchasing there are willing to and can pay for it.

This is true of every sort of market out there. Once validation, testing, and standards get strict the cost to get something to market skyrockets.

While I agree with overall sentiment, be careful what you wish for.

In a way it could end like with super cars. When you buy some posh Porsche 911 or Ferrari whatever with all bells and whistles in comfort departament it'll cost you say half a million $. But when you buy track stipped down version of aforementioned cars it'll cost you a 1M $. It's old trick which car makers do. They strip cars down to the barebones and they make you pay through the roof for the privilege of barebone model. It's totally retarded, but it works like this for years.

And BTW: these server solutions are very expensive. Much more expensive than any of RGB infested crap available for us plebs. It has to work at much higher pressure required to operate, plus when 5L of specialized coolant cost say 15k$ (assuming not using water as some datacenters do) you have to be double/triple, etc sure it's - within reason - indestructible. Heck even some PDF data sets for designing loop/decommissioning/moving liquid cooled servers cost 100$-200$ a pop.

I used a lot of sunon fans in the athlon xp days

^^THIS^^

I've been sayin this for many years now, and I blame ASETEK for the lack of innovation & progress in the AIO pump & block design arena, since they will immediately pounce on & sue the crap out of anyone who dares to do anything that does not 100% comply with their patents

Yea yea, I know they are protecting their IP, but I feel certain that if it were not for their predatory behavior, we could have some really interesting AIO's available that aren't so damned boring AF and limited in performance
