How water cooling works in computers: mechanisms and components
Water cooling in computers is an effective method of heat dissipation. This alternative to traditional air cooling offers a number of advantages, including improved thermal performance and lower noise levels. SSPDaily has prepared a detailed description of the principles and components underlying this method.
How it works
The mechanism of water cooling in computers is based on a closed system. Water circulates through vital components such as the CPU and GPU and others, absorbing heat in the process. The heated water then flows to a heat sink where the heat is dissipated into the surrounding air, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal performance.
Components
A water block attached to the CPU or GPU ensures efficient heat transfer. The pump maintains a continuous flow of water, providing access to all necessary components.
Tubing provides unobstructed circulation, and a heat sink removes heat. Fans blow air through the heatsink to aid in the cooling process.
