Liquid Cooled PC

What are Liquid-Cooled PCs: Whether you're using a desktop or laptop computer, there's a good chance that if you stop what you're doing and listen carefully, you'll hear the whirring of a small fan. If your computer has a high-end video card and lots of processing power, you might even hear more than one.

In layman’s language The components inside your PC generate heat. Your standard heat-sink-and-fan combo is usually sufficient for the average user, but when you push your components harder, they'll run hotter.

In most computers, fans do a pretty good job of keeping electronic components cool. But for people who want to use high-end hardware or coax their PCs into running faster, a fan might not have enough power for the job. If a computer generates too much heat, liquid cooling, also known as water cooling, can be a better solution. If you want to overclock your PC, you will want to build a liquid-cooling system for your PC to ensure that your precious components don't burn out.It might seem a little counterintuitive to put liquids near delicate electronic equipment, but cooling with water is far more efficient than cooling with air.

A liquid-cooling system for a PC works a lot like the cooling system of a car. Both take advantage of a basic principle of thermodynamics - that heat moves from warmer objects to cooler objects. As the cooler object gets warmer, the warmer object gets cooler.

There are two reasons why a computer might need the increased thermal conductivity and heat capacity of water:

·         Its electronic components produce more heat than the air around them can absorb

·         The fans required to move enough air to cool all the components make too much noise or use too much electricity

In other words, there are two reasons why you might need to cool a computer with a liquid instead of air:

·         The components inside your computer need more cooling than air alone can provide

·         You want your system to be quieter
