Traditional air cooling has met its physical limit in the era of high-density AI acceleration. Liquid immersion cooling is no longer optional—it is a functional necessity to maintain GPU performance.
High-performance computing units are completely submerged in sealed pods filled with a premium, non-conductive dielectric fluid (backed by a 10-year warranty). Heat is absorbed instantly at the chip level, bypassing traditional heat sinks and fans.
Direct liquid heat transfer completely removes the power-hungry fans and secondary HVAC cooling equipment, dropping PUE to sub-1.1 levels.
By maintaining uniform thermal profiles across all accelerators, HydroCore prevents thermal throttling, letting CPUs and GPUs run at maximum clocks continuously.
Submerged hardware is protected in a completely sealed fluid envelope, eliminating dust build-up, static risk, component wear, and mechanical fan failures.

HydroCore™ pods utilize a premium, fully synthetic, non-conductive dielectric hydrocarbon fluid. The fluid is non-toxic, biodegradable, odorless, and has a service warranty of 10 years without requiring replacement or chemical maintenance under continuous load.
While components are safe, standard servers must be prepared. This involves removing all moving parts (fans), modifying the thermal paste/pads for liquid interfaces, and flashing customized BIOS profiles. AltaAI handles all hardware modification and certifies compatibility in collaboration with Asus and Gigabyte.
AltaAI offers flexible loops, including Dry Coolers (ambient-air heat exchange) and gas-based cooling systems. These gas-cooled loops eliminate municipal water consumption, allowing high-density computing clusters to operate reliably in arid, remote, or unconditioned physical facilities.
