Water Cooling

What is Water Cooling and How Does It Work?

Water cooling (also known as liquid cooling) uses a liquid flowing in a closed circuit to dissipate heat. It's perfect for professional PC setups and for gaming machines where the processor and graphics card are constantly on the go.

Water Cooling - The Difference between an All-in-One and a Bespoke Circuit

What options does All-in-One water cooling give you and does it outperform a customised liquid cooling circuit?

• An All-in-One water cooling system is the easiest way to add water cooling to your PC. This is a complete set that just needs to be attached to the processor and the case. It is no more demanding to maintain or install than an air cooler.
• A customised water cooling system needs to be assembled from available parts. Its long-term cooling potential is the highest of all conventional solutions and its power can be increased freely thanks to its modularity.

Take a look at complete water cooling kits and pre-built water cooler sets.

Indispensable Components needed for Water Cooling

Water cooling would not work without a few key components. You'll need an expansion tank, pump, hose or radiator whether you're building a water cooling system for your graphics card, CPU or for your entire motherboard.

• CPU water cooling blocks are placed directly on the processor, from which they transfer heat to the flowing water.
• Blocks and coolers for graphics cards work in the same way as in the case of a CPU. It cools the card and surrounding components.
• Water cooling pumps ensure sufficient pressure and water flow in the cooling circuit.
• Water cooling radiators cool the fluid heated by the heat from the components and return it to the circuit.
• Liquid Cooling Coolant Fluids are indispensable heat carriers. Distilled water is most commonly used, but the use of special solutions with inhibitors to improve the anti-corrosion properties is ideal.
• The expansion tank is a fluid reservoir that ensures sufficient and convenient refilling of the fluid.
• Fans force enough air through the radiator to ensure the optimum cooling of the water.
