You know how some computers have liquid cooling? I was wondering, how does it work? Maybe they refrigerate the water and circulate it around or something.. Dunno.

Not entirely sure, but you should read
this article. It'll probably give you the answer you're looking for.

It's also quite pointless unless you're trying to overclock for contests or something. For regular PC use, even with moderate overclocking, heat sinks and fans do the job.

My computer tech teacher has liquid cooling on her teacher computer. Kinda shows where that money we fundraised to buy us nice new chairs went i guess?
Oh, liquid cooling does look cooler than a normal fan and heat sink at least.

Its at the area carrer center, im taking a class in the computer technologies so its not all that strange. This year were learning networking and my teacher cant seem to explain subnetting without making us more confused than before.
Anyway the computer with liquid cooling is actualy in one of the clear sided cases, so you can see everything in it too.

Eh, if I overclock my computer I'll just leave the case open and keep it in a wide area and dust it regularly.
During the summers I'll keep an extra fan inside :D

That explains it a lot easier than my teacher could, thanks.

Chise to the rescue!
I heard of somebody with about 8 fans inside their computer. Then again, they overclocked like hell.
I could do that too in the summer if I had a PC in my room. AC makes me keep a jacket on...:B

I have liquid cooling myself, personally I'm not really a fan of it since it's kind of a pain in the ass.
Basically it uses anti-freeze or some sort of non-conductive liquid and refrigerates it and circulates it down to a copper block which is on top of the component in question which transfers the cold temperature from that to the component. It then runs the liquid back up so after it's cooled the copper and gotten warm it can go back up and be recooled and be recirculated.
More or less.
Having to change it and the idea of it ever messing up and whatnot... I'd say not to go with it to be honest.

I...... have more than that, and liquid cooling, and the entire left side of the case is a huge fan.

Basically, fans don't give you **** while liquid can **** up easy.

Well in the article posted, they said the liquids chosen usually are non-conductive, so they won't eff up your system too bad.

but cleaning it up after it leaks is still probably annoying, u only need a vacuum hose or can of compressed air to clean a fan
