Computex 2026: Inside the Race to Power and Cool AI
Some of the biggest crowds at Computex 2026 were not gathered around AI server racks but the liquid cooling and power delivery systems that keep them running. In a clear sign of how the AI boom is changing, the booths of Delta, Lite-On, Auras, Jentech, and other companies in the segment saw lines stretching through the aisles. For years, cooling pipes and power supplies were boring background parts that only mattered when something broke. Now they have become one of the main stories. As AI racks grow more powerful, delivering the electricity they demand and removing the heat they generate have become two of the toughest challenges in the data center.
