Better than air cold? Water cooler depth analysis!

With the progress of computer hardware, more and more computers are seriously heated, which increases the heat dissipation demand. Usually, people use air cooling, using different radiators, but water cooling technology has become an important means of custom PC enthusiasts, which is a relatively old technology that is still in effect, and has not been surpassed.

First, water cooling principle

First, let's understand how water cooling works. Hot water is fluid, so water, by contrast, dissipates heat more efficiently than air. A water cooler usually consists of a water block, a pump, a tank, a radiator, and pipes. The water block is in direct contact with the CPU to transfer as much heat as possible. The pump keeps the water flowing by pumping water to keep the circulation going. In order to stabilize the water temperature, the tank must provide enough cooling for the water, as well as reserve enough space to ensure that more heat is stored when the temperature rises. When the water passes through the radiator, the water in the radiator interacts with the surrounding air to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation, and before the water flows through the radiator, a filter is usually installed to pick out impurities from the high temperature water.

Two, the advantages of water cooler

Water cooling has many advantages over traditional air cooling.

The first is that water cooling can achieve higher overclocking, especially for high-end cpus, water cooling overclocking performance is better. This is because the high-end CPU heat dissipation area is small, the air can not effectively remove excess heat from the CPU heat dissipation plate, and water cooling can make the water flow through the radiator, full heat dissipation.

The second advantage is that water cooling reduces noise. Air cooling usually requires forced breathing or venting of gas to dissipate heat, while water cooling uses a pump to circulate water, reducing the sound of gas flow and therefore producing less noise.

A third advantage is that water cooling allows for better temperature control. Air radiators are usually affected by room temperature and the environment, resulting in a variable temperature, while water cooling because of the use of water, the heat is more uniform, so the temperature can be better controlled.

The fourth advantage is that water cooling can enhance the playability of the computer. The beauty of the water cooler is higher than that of air cooling, and the color of the water cooling system and the shape of the pump can be freely chosen, making the computer more cool.

Three, the risk of water cooler

Although water cooling is a good method of cooling, there are still risks. Pump failure, water leakage, improper metal cleaning of water boxes, computers being pumped, etc., are all possible risks. Therefore, when buying a water cooler, you need to pay attention to quality and maintenance costs.

In short, water cooling is an efficient, beautiful, and can provide more overclocking capacity of the heat dissipation method. But there is no doubt that it also has risks and needs to be carefully considered and carefully purchased. Only by weighing the pros and cons can we meet the high level of performance that DIY computer enthusiasts want.
