His whole marketing campaign is aimed at illiterate/innumerate people, those who can be convinced that the law of thermodynamics can be somehow suspended after paying for an expensive patented 3M cooling fluid. The reality is obvious: you can't omit the heatsink, but it can be either local or remote.

Interestingly, they actually built some of their water-cooled setups so they must have the exact costs available, they just don't disclose them, hoping to snare some semi-literate or semi-numerate investors who'll buy into the "no more heatsinks nor fans" spiel.

well, the ''magic'' of two phase immersion cooling is that the change from liquid to vapor state consumes a lot of heat energy! That's thermodynamics, too.
So you need a lot less cooling equipment than with air cooling or normal water cooling.

Correct. It's not "heatsink vs no heatsink". A fair comparison is 5000 heatsinks/fans vs 1 giant heatsink/pump/fans. The end result is quite clear from the HK DC with a PUE of less than 1.01.

If 2112 did a bit of reading instead of calling everyone illiterate he would know that you only need a very small amount of novec fluid per KW. In fact as little as $2.5 per KW (200ml @ 4kw) or $2,500 per MW.
