Nvidia’s next-generation Blackwell data center processors have significant problems with overheating when installed in high-capacity server racks, forcing redesigns of the racks themselves, according to a report by The Information.

Apparently, rack suppliers have changed the rack designs at Nvidia’s request more than once. The Information first noted the issue. But Nvidia quickly pointed out to Reuters that design changes are part and parcel of developing high-end tech. The word is that the requested changes were designed to solve heat-related problems.
