The Rubin Moment, Liquid Cooling's Leap Into AI Infrastructure

A Rubin NVL72 Rack Is Worth $140-160K in Cooling: CDU at $90K, Cold Plates at $35K and Every GW Opening 4.9-7.7 Billion Yuan

Blackwell and Vera Rubin platforms push rack power past the hundred-kilowatt line, making liquid cooling a core layer of AI infrastructure, and a Rubin-class NVL72 rack carries roughly 140,000 to 160,000 dollars of liquid cooling value: the CDU at 80,000 to 90,000 as the largest item, cold plates at 35,000 with the highest technical barrier, and connectors and piping at 8,000 to 12,000. Every added gigawatt of liquid-cooled load opens 4.9 to 7.7 billion yuan of equipment space, and the 45-degree single-phase cold plate route dominates 2026 and 2027 while two-phase suits future ultra-high heat flux chips. Chinese vendors moved from samples into the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem. EXTRCOOL provides one-stop liquid cooling solutions.
