Liquid Cooling
pcLiquid cooling is a method used to dissipate heat from electronic components by circulating liquid through a heat exchanger or closed loop system.
expanded
Liquid cooling involves the use of a liquid, often a custom coolant or water, which is circulated through tubing and radiators to transfer heat away from components such as CPUs and GPUs. This method is particularly effective in keeping component temperatures lower than traditional air cooling, helping to maintain optimal operating performance and prolonging hardware life in high-performance and overclocked systems.
examples
The NZXT Kraken X73 is a 360 mm (14.17 inches) all-in-one liquid CPU cooler that uses a high-efficiency pump and large surface area radiator to dissipate heat.
Commonly used in gaming PCs and workstations that require superior cooling for overclocked CPUs.
The Corsair Hydro X Series XH303i RGB Custom Cooling Kit provides modular components including fittings, tubing, and a pump/reservoir combo for building a custom liquid cooling loop.
Typically applied in custom PC builds that prioritize aesthetics and performance optimization.
