Here are some excerpts from the Article
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is the first peta-scale HPC to use warm-water liquid cooling, earning it the world’s number one rating in power-usage effectiveness of PUE=1.06!

The direct-component liquid cooling system supplies servers with warm water (75 degrees Fahrenheit) that is piped over processors to remove excess heat, returning water heated to approximately 100 degrees F. Because only 25 degrees of heat must be removed by the water-cooling system, the energy efficient set-up eliminates the power-hungry compressors needed for traditional air-cooling systems.
Excess heat generated by the new HPC will function as the primary room-heating technology for its Golden, Colo., data center, and will heat walkways outside buildings to melt snow and ice. This holistic approach, defined by the NREL’s Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF), will save as much as $1 million per year on power needed to run a conventional air-cooled data center.

I am really appreciate your logic that you have described here. Liquid cooling hpc is used to protect the processor from excess heat by water cooling system. As a result, It runs fast and completely safe.
