A: Chilled water units: Water is cheap and many data centers already have the experience and the infrastructure for the technology. - 31 %
B: Rack level inert liquids: More energy efficient to pump than water and leaks as a gas so it doesn't ruin components. - 31 %
C: Component level liquid cooling, through spray or other means: Brings coolant closer to the heat source. - 17 %
D: No liquid cooling for me thanks. I'll work on managing my raised floor space better. - 20 %
