A transfomer oil immersion cooling server is designed and constructed for machine learning applications and first principle calculations that are carried out for materials-related research. CPU, motherboard, random access memory, hard disk drive, solid state drive, graphic card, and the power supply unit are submerged into the transformer oil in order to cool the entire system. Benchmark tests reveal that overall performance is improved while performance times for multicore calculations are

Thus, a transformer oil immersion cooling server is proposed to be an alternative cooling system used for improving the performance of first principle calculations and machine learning.
