JetCool has launched its SmartPlate System for Dell PowerEdge R770 and R7725 servers, expanding its direct-to-chip liquid cooling portfolio to align with next-generation server platforms based on 5th Gen AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon 6 processors. The company originally announced the Dell PowerEdge support at Dell Technologies World in May, positioning the solution for enterprise data centers and distributed edge deployments where power, heat, and rack space are increasingly limiting factors. The move extends an existing relationship: JetCool, a Flex company, is a Dell OEM partner whose prior-generation SmartPlate already shipped on the PowerEdge R670 and R760, and the R770 and R7725 bring the sealed cooling approach to Dell’s next-gen Intel and AMD platforms.
At a high level, SmartPlate is designed as a server-integrated, direct-to-chip cooling approach that can be deployed without tying into the facility water system. JetCool describes the system as fully sealed and ready to install, aiming to reduce deployment friction in environments that were architected around traditional air cooling. This matters for operators looking to introduce liquid cooling selectively, such as rolling upgrades in existing rooms or edge sites where retrofits and plumbing changes are impractical.
Improved Thermal Performance
JetCool cites testing showing an average 13% reduction in IT power on these SmartPlate-equipped systems, attributing the gains to improved thermal performance and more efficient chip-level cooling. (JetCool’s broader SmartPlate marketing cites an average 15%, so 13% is the figure tied specifically to these next-gen R770 and R7725 integrations.) The company positions that reduction as a lever to increase compute density per rack, particularly in constrained facilities where adding power delivery and cooling capacity is difficult. JetCool founder Dr. Bernie Malouin said the integrations are intended to give enterprises and edge operators a practical path to higher rack density and better efficiency without changes to existing infrastructure. We have a podcast on this if you’d like to explore further.
John Sasser, CTO of JetCool partner Sabey Data Centers, described the system, based on firsthand deployment, as a way to bring direct-to-chip cooling to traditionally air-cooled facilities through a closed-loop, server-integrated design that supports phased rollouts rather than disruptive facility-level modifications.
JetCool founder Dr. Bernie Malouin said the Dell PowerEdge R770 and R7725 integrations are intended to provide a practical path to higher rack density and performance improvements without requiring changes to existing infrastructure. Sabey Data Centers CTO John Sasser also described the system as a way to bring direct-to-chip cooling into traditionally air-cooled facilities using a closed-loop design integrated directly with servers, enabling phased rollouts rather than disruptive facility-level modifications. Both statements emphasized deployment practicality and measurable efficiency improvements rather than a wholesale data center redesign.
Availability
JetCool says SmartPlate Systems for Dell PowerEdge R770 and R7725 are available immediately. The company is positioning the platform for organizations looking to increase on-prem capacity and reduce energy consumption while avoiding facility infrastructure rework.
