PC Liquidcooling Systems 2012

What is the Best Pc Water Cooling ?

When people install the latest and best liquidcooling systems on their pcs it is usually for two reasons, lower temperatures and/or for reduced sound. Liquidcooling has great advantages over air-cooling because of the way newer liquids transfer and reduce heat at high levels. Keep the systems temperature lower when overclocked without the hazard of damaging the hardware.

Custom Cpu Watercooling Systems

Building a custom cpu watercooling system can be tricky but here we state everything needed to built one. You can also install extra tubing and a gpu waterblock to have it run to the graphics cards aswell.

 

Cases for Cpu Watercooling System

When building a custom loop cpu watercooling system if you dont already have a case that can fit a watercooling kit , these are some of the best ones avaialable.

Radiators for Cpu Watercooling

The cpu radiator is responsible for cooling the liquid at the end of the loop. Radiators have three setups: Push, pull and push/pull combined.
The pull setup is used to pull the heat out of the case. The push setup is used to push cold air on to the hot liquid. Push/Pull is a combination of both. Different types of watercooling radiators are available with the most common ones being the 240 rad (2x120mm fans) and 360 radiators (3 x 120mm fans).
