>"Google extensively validates components with leak testing, uses alerting systems to discover problems like leaks, and takes preventative measures like scheduled maintenance and filtration. They also have a clear set of protocols to respond to alerts and issues, allowing a large workforce to respond to problems in a consistent fashion. It’s a far cry from the ad-hoc measures enthusiasts take to maintain their water cooling setups."

How about the author compare it to MS, Meta, or AWS instead of Joe Blow buying parts online? I would hope that Google had extensive validation and clear protocols. [Roll-Eyes]

My guess would be the average reader is probably far more familiar with people water cooling their own machines than the intricacies of how various large companies are doing water cooling (or not) in their data centers.
