Coolant Distribution Units & cold plates
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling hardware for GB200/GB300
CDUs, manifolds and cold plates (Vertiv, Boyd, Cooler Master, CoolIT, Delta) are mandatory for Blackwell/Rubin racks that exceed air-cooling limits; NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 ships liquid-cooled. Quick-disconnect and leak-management supply constraints have become a genuine gating factor for AI rack deployment velocity.
