Liquid cooling

pc

A system that uses liquid to remove heat from computer components.

expanded

Liquid cooling systems circulate a fluid through piping and over heat-generating components like the CPU and GPU, using a radiator to dissipate the collected heat. This method is particularly effective in high-performance computing where air cooling may be insufficient due to space constraints and excessive heat generation.

examples

A closed-loop liquid cooling system, such as an all-in-one (AIO) cooler, featuring a pump, radiator, and pre-filled coolant.

Commonly used in personal computers (PCs) for overclocked CPUs where traditional air cooling cannot efficiently manage increased heat output.

A custom loop liquid cooling system with separate components, offering flexibility in tubing routing and heat management.

Preferred in custom PC builds, particularly in high-end gaming and workstation setups, to optimize cooling efficiency and system aesthetics.
