What Cooling Solutions Are Required for H200 GPU?

The NVIDIA H200 GPU, with its 700W TDP and high heat density from advanced HBM3e memory, demands advanced cooling to prevent thermal throttling in AI and HPC workloads. Cyfuture Cloud provides tailored air, liquid, hybrid, and immersion solutions in its India data centers for optimal H200 performance.​
H200 GPUs require liquid cooling (direct-to-chip or cold plates), hybrid air-liquid systems, or immersion cooling due to 700W power draw and extreme thermal loads. Cyfuture Cloud offers all these options, with liquid and hybrid preferred for sustained HPC/AI tasks to maintain peak efficiency without downtime.​

H200 Thermal Challenges

The H200 GPU generates over 700W of heat, far exceeding air cooling limits for dense racks, leading to hotspots on the GPU core, HBM stacks, and VRMs. Conventional fans struggle with heat flux density, risking performance drops above 500W per card. Cyfuture Cloud addresses this with cloud infrastructure designed for H200's 141GB HBM3e, ensuring uniform cooling across multi-GPU clusters.​

Air Cooling Basics

Air cooling uses enhanced fans and large heat sinks for lighter H200 workloads, suitable for general AI inference. Cyfuture Cloud deploys high-static-pressure fans in open-air designs for initial setups, but limits density to avoid throttling. This option suits edge deployments but falls short for full-load training, where temperatures exceed safe limits.​

Liquid Cooling Solutions

Direct-to-chip liquid cooling, like cold plates from partners such as Lian Li or ZutaCore, targets H200 hotspots with microchannels and all-copper construction for 500W+ dissipation. Cyfuture Cloud's liquid systems use warm water loops, removing 80% of heat without chillers, cutting energy costs. These support up to 1500W GPUs in closed-loop setups, ideal for H200's HPC demands.​

Hybrid and Immersion Options

Hybrid systems blend air for low loads and liquid for peaks, offering adaptive management in Cyfuture Cloud racks. Immersion oil cooling submerges H200 servers for single-phase heat transfer, excelling in ultra-dense clusters with minimal airflow needs. Cyfuture provides scalable immersion for AI factories, balancing cost and performance.​

Cyfuture Cloud Implementation

Cyfuture Cloud's Delhi data centers feature redundant CDUs, manifolds, and flow monitoring for H200 hosting, scaling from single nodes to clusters. Security and 24/7 support ensure seamless deployment, with hybrid options preventing thermal variance. Power provisioning matches cooling for 700W TDP without upgrades.​

Benefits for AI/HPC Workloads

Advanced cooling boosts H200 efficiency by 20-30% via lower junction temps, enabling longer training runs. Cyfuture's solutions reduce PUE, supporting sustainable scaling for Indian enterprises. Liquid options future-proof for 1000W+ GPUs like B200.​
