Rackmount Koolance?!?!

[DirtyDingusMcgee]

I've always liked Koolance stuff. Has anyone used some of these? Not really looking to get it for myself (just drooling over parts really).

Rackmount liquid cooling is becoming more and more of a thing these days. Also....it looks really cool. 4600w worth of cooling capacity sounds like fun.

That looks like maintenance hell and no you're not going to find any good stories about it.
Nobody wants a horizontal rad system that goes at the very top of the rack when ventilation space is already at a premium.

Most of the enterprise stuff that ships with anything related will have their own in-house solutions so any vendor like Koolance is an afterthought.
When I started with this stuff, I picked out the kindest PC2-601 Server Case and slowly modded it over the years.
The last thing I did was overhaul the junk aluminum rad assembly for something competent: The last one they made.

It's really funny when people see this and think it's an oven range. If only they knew what it was like before going all copper.
It no longer relies on some junk 3-stage expansion board to operate and can maybe pull an entire amp from a mobo header over a splitter.
It doesn't randomly turbo up the fanspeed in the middle of workloads and the fan curve works exactly as intended. No noise, no problems.
I'm also using the old Pentium 4 era water block on Ryzen. Not the best design in the world but don't care. It's hilarious that it works so well.

I kind of want to see how it works on Threadripper but we're a loooong way away from that. We'll probably never know.
