Just a few days ago we gave you an introduction to air cooling. Today we publish the sequel, which is an introduction to water cooling. Water cooling has become a trend which rapidly spreads among experienced users, and the confusion among the less experienced is starting to disappear as pre-made systems started to show up on the market. This article mostly looks at the different parts of a water cooling system and how they work, but also a few things you should have in mind and on top of that a little theory. Nice reading for the interested users.
“For air cooling you only need a heat sink and a fan, but when it comes to water cooling there are several parts required. First and foremost you something that transports the heat from the CPU to the water: a water block. The water block has the same function as the heat sink, and that is to be the connection between cooling medium and heat source.”
