New cards

High-End Gaming PCs

  • Typically generate more heat than basic thermal management can cope with

  • Typically require exceptional cooling methods

2
New cards

Liquid Cooling Systems

  • Pumps water around the chassis

    • More effective coolant than air convection

  • Can often run more quietly than fans

3
New cards

  • Open-Loop System

  • Closed-Loop System

    • Typically install to a single component (e.g. CPU or GPU)

The two types of liquid cooling system

New cards

Open-Loop Liquid Cooling System

  • The water loop/tubing and pump push the coolant added via the reservoir around the system

  • Water blocks and brackets are attached to each device to remove heat by convection

    • These are attached in a similar way to heat sink/fan assemblies and then connected to the water loop

  • Radiators and fans are positioned at air vents to dispel the excess heat

True

  • It is also important to keep the fans and radiators dust-free

  • System should also be drained prior to moving the PC to a different location

True or False: Open-loop system will usually need draining, cleaning, and refilling periodically
