The B-FRD-TESLA-L40 is a sealed AIO designed to give the passively-cooled NVIDIA L40 data-center GPU active liquid cooling in a workstation or tower chassis that does not provide server-grade directional airflow. As a B-FRD-series product it is a closed loop pre-filled at the factory, including a pump, radiator, tubing and a full-cover GPU block built around the L40's PCB layout. Radiator options of 120, 240 or 360mm cover different chassis sizes.
Q: Why does the L40 need an active cooler outside a server?
A: The L40 is a passive card designed for the high-static-pressure airflow of 2U/4U server chassis. In a standard tower it has no fan and will throttle hard or shut down without water cooling or an added shroud fan.
Q: Which radiator sizes does this listing offer?
A: 120mm, 240mm and 360mm radiator configurations, each with the matching count of 120mm fans pre-mounted.
Q: Is this for the L40 or the L40S?
A: The listing is for the NVIDIA L40 PCB. The L40S uses a similar but not identical board, so cross-compatibility should be confirmed with PCB photos before buying.
Q: Is the loop sealed or refillable?
A: It is a sealed, factory pre-filled AIO. No coolant or fittings are required at installation.
Q: What thread is on the block?
A: Standard G1/4 inch ports on the block side.
