Birch Stream Cold Plate

The Birch Stream Cold Plate is a precision-engineered liquid cooling device tailored for Intel’s Birch Stream server platform. Designed to efficiently manage heat dissipation in high-performance computing (HPC), AI servers, and cloud-based infrastructure, this custom server cold plate ensures optimal thermal conductivity, stable CPU performance, and long-term operational reliability. Built for compatibility with Intel LGA4677 processors, it is an essential component for next-generation server cooling systems.

In a full liquid cooling loop, the cold plate is only part of the thermal solution. For large-scale server deployments, the supply and return liquid piping system (secondary-side loop) plays a crucial role in ensuring effective coolant distribution. This system includes manifolds for distributing cooling fluid between servers, flexible hoses, and quick-connect fittings to link manifolds and cold plates, as well as loop piping between CDUs and each server cabinet.
