For those seeking superior cooling performance, liquid cooling offers an advanced alternative. Unlike air cooling, liquid cooling systems use a liquid coolant to absorb and dissipate heat. These systems can be more efficient at maintaining lower temperatures, particularly under heavy loads. Liquid cooling setups often include a pump, radiator, and water blocks that directly contact the CPU and GPU. While more complex and expensive than air cooling, liquid cooling is ideal for overclocked systems or PCs used in demanding applications. It also has the added benefit of reducing noise levels, as fans can operate at lower speeds.
