The German overclocker der8auer worked with German computing company Caseking to produce an interesting liquid cooling solution for a 64-core dual Epyc server, according to a report and video from PC Gamer.

The system includes liquid cooling blocks on the CPUs and the other components are all submerged in fluids with jets spraying across the board. It is an intense rig, but it showed impressive results.
PC Gamer explained, “It's a pretty awesome setup, and obviously more of a publicity stunt than something you'd want to have running in a datacenter. It's also extremely fast on the right sort of workloads. The rig posted a Cinebench score of 10,460 for the dual Epyc CPUs, which is only about three times as fast as an 18-core/36-thread Core i9-7980XE. Impractical, sure, but still cool.”
