Independent thermal conformance · Liquid cold plates
The verdict NVIDIA’s qual trusts. Not your internal bench number.
Vinny runs matched prediction-vs-measurement experiments on your cold plate and issues a third-party conformance verdict on Rth / ΔP spec. Tier-2 vendors bring it to the qual. The verdict holds because it comes from a neutral referee.
Sample verdict record
Every engagement produces a matched triple.
| Parameter | Spec | CFD Prediction | Measured | Residual | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal resistance Rth | ≤ 0.042 °C/W | 0.039 °C/W | 0.041 °C/W | −0.003 | PASS |
| Pressure drop ΔP | ≤ 18.0 kPa | 16.8 kPa | 17.4 kPa | +0.6 | PASS |
| Max junction ΔT | ≤ 12.0 °C | 11.2 °C | 12.7 °C | +1.5 | OUT OF SPEC |
| Flow uniformity index | ≥ 0.94 | 0.96 | 0.95 | −0.001 | PASS |

The trust gap
Your internal bench number is not enough to win a qual.
When you bid a GB300 or MI400 cold plate and pursue an NVIDIA RVL slot, NVIDIA will not accept a bench measurement you ran yourself. The asymmetric-trust structure means the weaker party — you — must prove conformance to a skeptic who controls the design-win revenue. An internal number carries the same bias risk as no number at all.
What Vinny changes
A verdict from a neutral referee is structurally different.
Vinny owns the full loop — geometry intake, CFD prediction scoring, fabrication coordination, bench measurement, and final verdict delivery — with no commercial stake in the outcome. The independence is the product. Every engagement also compounds a proprietary matched prediction-vs-bench corpus that no incumbent cold-plate maker can replicate.
How it works
Vinny owns the full verification loop.
Geometry intake
Submit your cold-plate geometry — channel dimensions, manifold layout, thermocouple port locations. Vinny maps the full geometry record.
Prediction scoring
A matched CFD prediction is scored against the Vinny residual corpus, calibrating model confidence before any physical measurement.
Fab & bench
Vinny coordinates fabrication of the measurement fixture and runs the physical bench experiment at an independent lab.
Verdict delivery
A signed Vinny Verdict record is delivered: parameter-by-parameter, prediction vs. measurement, residual, and a clear PASS / OUT OF SPEC on every line.
The structural advantage
Built on data no incumbent can replicate.
Literature sources reviewed
34
A 34-source lit review confirmed public matched prediction-vs-measurement data exists. Vinny compounds it with every paid engagement.
Independence model
No stake in the outcome
Vinny holds no equity, volume arrangement, or supply-chain position in any cold-plate vendor. Neutrality is the structural asset.
The Vinny flywheel
Every verdict compounds the corpus
Each engagement generates a reusable matched triple — geometry, prediction, measurement — that makes the residual model more generalizable over time.
Discovery call
When you bid a GB300 cold plate, what would it be worth to walk into the qual with an independent verdict?
We’re running discovery calls with Tier-2 cold-plate makers and RVL-aspirant vendors. Thirty minutes. No deck. One question.
