Next-gen synthetic diamond cooling tech for chips could secure CHIPS Act backing
Claims of 10-20°C GPU temp drops and 40% less energy use
What just happened? Akash Systems, an Oakland-based startup, has landed a preliminary deal with the US government for major funding under the CHIPS Act. The company, which is developing diamond-based cooling technology for semiconductors, has signed a non-binding memorandum with the Department of Commerce. If finalized, it would net Akash $18.2 million in direct funds and $50 million in federal and state tax credits.
New thermal material provides 72% better cooling than conventional paste
It reduces the need for power-hungry cooling pumps and fans
Why it matters: Data centers are hot, both figuratively and literally. As we feed more and more data and processing demands into these server farms, keeping them from overheating is becoming an increasingly expensive and energy-intensive challenge. But researchers at the University of Texas may have a cool solution – a new thermal interface material that can whisk heat away from processors better than the likes of Thermalright and Thermal Grizzly.

Resellers rebrand DeepCool as Shaking Tank to sidestep US sanctions
They're also blurring out the logos on products to hide any branding
Through the looking glass: At first glance, it may appear that the Chinese cooling company DeepCool has been sneakily rebranding and reselling its products stateside under the name "Shaking Tank" in an attempt to sidestep economic sanctions imposed by the US government. But things may not be so simple.

Micro-cooling is evolving
Low-cost innovation regulates building temperatures while slashing energy use
Sweating Planet: Rising temperatures are transforming vast regions of the planet into unbearably hot environments. While air conditioning is effective at cooling indoor spaces, it is also an enormous drain on energy resources. As a result, scientists are seeking innovative solutions that can provide comparable cooling without consuming excessive energy or resources.
Thermal Grizzly's thermal pad switches between solid and liquid states for optimal cooling
Is it the best of both worlds?
Testing reveals that some Nvidia AIB partners are using cheap thermal paste resulting in high GPU temperatures
Too hot to handle Igor's Lab investigated community feedback that some owners of GeForce RTX 40 series AIB cards are hitting hotspot temperatures of 100° C after a few months of operating within acceptable ranges. GPU hotspot temperature refers to the maximum temperature recorded in a specific area of a GPU, usually either on the GPU die itself or the voltage regulators (VRM).

Breakthrough 2D quantum cooling system is colder than space
Novel device converts heat into electricity at ultra-low temperatures
Forward-looking: A research team at EPFL University in Switzerland has created a 2D quantum computing system that can get colder than outer space. This is a major breakthrough for quantum computing, as advancements have been hindered by conventional cooling methods. This new technology uses off-the-shelf parts and can be easily implemented into existing quantum computers.
$10,000 cooler designed with AI keeps Core i9-14900KF chilly at 7.5 GHz
Pushing the limits: Enthusiasts are always looking for an edge in the world of overclocking and extreme cooling. In this wild test, the team sought to determine whether advanced GenAI and 3D printing could help them squeeze out more performance from today's processors. To answer this, they built a liquid nitrogen (LN2) container in a whole new way – and arrived at some interesting conclusions.
