Why Liquid Cooling?
As the computing market continues to grow with faster speeds and enhanced features, heat is becoming more of an issue than ever. In an environment of increasing thermal loads, the CPU and GPU are generally the most demanding components. All electronics generate heat, which is a direct enemy of your system. There is simply no way to prevent electronics from generating the very thing that destroys them. Implementing a cooling system can significantly reduce the risks that heat cause.Advanced Liquid Cooling is essentially a radiator for a CPU inside of a computer. Just like a radiator for a car, a liquid cooling system circulates liquid through a heat sink attached to the processor inside of the computer. As the liquid passes through the heat sink, heat is transferred from the hot processor to the cooler liquid. This hot liquid then moves out to a radiator at the back of the case and transfers the heat to the ambient air outside of the case, rather than inside, causing significant damage. The cooled liquid then travels back through the system to the CPU to continue the process.
Liquid cooling doesn’t only increase the life of your components, but it also reduces noise within your computer. When you rely on a standard heat sink and fan combination, it tends to generate a lot of noise as the fans circulate air over the CPU and throughout the system. There is nothing more disturbing than the grumbling sound of your computer in the middle of World of Warcraft!
Fast Facts:
- By 2020 a square centimeter of microprocessors will generate upwards of 1,000° F
- Arrhenius Rate Law - For every 8° C /18° F increase in temperature there is a 50% decrease in reliability & longevity of electronics
- Liquid is better than air - Compared to air, it's a 4000-fold advantage per pint of coolant
- Will reduce power costs
- Reduce system noise
- Increase system performance
- Increase the system's reliability
