One afternoon at a data center in Austin convinced me cloud AI runs hotter than anyone admits
The cooling system failed for just 45 minutes and three racks of GPU servers hit 95 degrees, which made me wonder if all these companies promising AI efficiency are just burying their thermal costs in oversized AC units, has anyone else seen real temperature numbers from their deployments?

Wow those GPU racks pull more heat than a backup generator on a summer day.

God I feel this SO hard. Our mining rigs downstairs sound like a furnace running full blast, I literally have to keep the door to that room closed or the whole house becomes a sauna. Summer is the WORST for that, I swear my electric bill doubles just trying to keep the AC on. And forget sleeping in the room next to it, it's like trying to nap next to a space heater.
