What is Liquid Cooling?
Over the past few years, CPU speeds have been increasing at a dramatic rate. In order to generate the new speeds, CPUs have more transistors, are drawing more power and have higher clock rates. This leads to greater heat produced by the CPU in the computer. CPU heat sinks have been added to all modern PC CPUs to help try to alleviate some of the heat from the processor into the surrounding environment, but as the fans get louder and larger new solutions are being looked into, namely liquid cooling. Liquid cooling is essentially a radiator for the CPU inside of the computer. Just like a radiator for a car, a liquid cooling system circulates a 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. The 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. The cooled liquid then travels ba
