How does a PC liquid cooling system work?
In a manner very similar to how a car engine’s liquid cooling system. Instead of a CPU heat sink with just a fan, the heat sink contains a cavity filled with liquid, which is connected via tubes to a radiator with fan(s) mounted close to or on the computer case. A pump circulates the liquid, moving the hot liquid toward the radiator so the heat can be released and the cooler liquid back to the CPU heat sink. Liquid cooling is really only necessary if you’re over-clocking (pushing the CPU beyond its prescribed limits).
