With the release of this 768MB L3 cache, we're __already__ at 1.5GB L3 cache if you go dual-socket.

I mean, air-conditioning, fans, and water cooling are pretty much the only options. And they all work.
These are only 250W CPUs, so dual-socket into 500W or maybe 750W with the motherboard/RAM/SSDs in there. GPUs are harder to cool, as those are 500W behemoths by themselves, and GPU-servers run 8x GPUs (contrasted against your typical 2x CPU dual-socket setups).
