GPU cooling and CPU cooling
GPU cooling and CPU cooling
The reality is that these coolers are promoted to the general public who often lack proper knowledge, and this isn't anyone's responsibility. The issue lies in the frequent use of the term 'liquid cooling' without distinguishing it from 'water cooling' in the PC world. There seems to be little intention in marketing to correct the one-to-one comparison, so if a product is labeled 'liquid cooling,' it's typically considered equivalent to effective water cooling and superior to any air-based solution.
Additionally, many people mistakenly believe that liquid or water cooling can achieve temperatures lower than ambient Delta-T, which is not possible.
when you mention 'water cooler' do you refer to closed loop units? Yes, based on the radiator size, you can install them where there are fan mounts or design your own setup. I believe I’ve identified the problem. I have a 140mm fan and not a 120mm one for my CPU. There’s no suitable place to fit it. My tower includes an air duct for the VGA, but the built-in water cooler prevents me from placing it properly. It seems I’ll need either a better CPU air cooler or a larger water cooler to cover the top. Which option would be more advisable?
