Computer water cooling is the next
generation of computer cooling technology. The heat generated by today's fastest
CPU and GPU processors can sometimes generate more heat than a standard heatsink
can cool. The solution is either to get larger heatsinks with high flow (noisy)
fans or dive into the realm of computer water cooling to get both high
performance cooling and low noise operation.
Some users are a bit hesitant to add
water inside their computer because our basic instinct tells us: "water and
electricity does not mix". Computer water cooling systems are closed looped
systems that are low maintenance and completely safe to use when properly
installed. This system is very similar to an automotive cooling system. A series
of water blocks mounted to different heat sources in your system is fed with a
network of tubing and fittings driven by a water pump. A radiator is used to
cool the liquid each time it passes through the loop. With a
radiator, you can use as little as 1 fan to cool your entire system. More
demanding applications will require larger radiators and/or higher flow fans to
effectively remove the heat from your coolant.
