The Beginners guide to watercooling your PC

Why water cooling you ask? Simply put: the use of liquid based coolers in your PC not only makes it less noisy, it also allows you to better cool your PC’s insides for longer life.

When comparing the effectiveness of cooling methods, there are two properties that matter the most: thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity. Thermal conductivity is a physical property that describes how well a substance transfers heat. The thermal conductivity of liquid water is about 25 times that of air. Obviously, this gives liquid cooling a huge advantage over air-cooling because liquid cooling allows for a much faster transfer of heat.

Word of advice to those wanting to cool their PC’s with liquid based coolers: Take care that you DONT spill any liquid on the motherboard/cpu/ram/videocard/hardrive/basically-everything-inside-your-case.
