Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeA product coolant-inlet limit is not an ASHRAE facility-water (FWS) setpoint. NVIDIA's blog names the Rubin platform but not Vera Rubin NVL72, and gives no rack-level inlet rating.
