Dev builds passive water cooler to stop thermal throttling on local AI servers

A developer is raising funds to mass-produce the "MuscowMule Cooler," a passive water-cooling heatsink designed to eliminate thermal throttling on personal AI servers like the NVIDIA DGX Spark. The device runs silently without electricity, using tap water to keep systems running 120B-parameter vision models stable. The creator aims to cut costs by 99% and sell via eBay.
