Why choose an all-in-one water-cooled radiator?
When it comes to CPU water cooling, it dates back to the last century. As early as 1998 and 1999, Taiwan began to popular CPU water cooling heat dissipation, but mostly with open structure. With the rapid development of graphics card technology, the GPU on the graphics card has been able to emit as much heat as the CPU, so water cooling is no longer limited to the CPU.
At present, water cooling is mainly targeted at high-end players. Although it has many advantages such as high efficiency and low noise, its high price, complex installation, and later investment and maintenance require users to have certain hands-on ability and DIY experience, which greatly limits the popularity of water cooling. Also let a lot of players who were interested in water cooling shy away.
Some large manufacturers began to introduce a high degree of integration of the integrated water cooling radiator, focusing on the promotion of the rapid installation of water cooling. Compared with the traditional water-cooled radiator, it integrates various water-cooled components together after integration. From the appearance, it is not much different from the general air-cooled radiator. The biggest benefit of this is that the installation process is greatly simplified and the threshold for water cooling is lowered so that more users can have access to water cooling.
Water cooling system is generally composed of the following parts: heat exchanger, circulation system, water tank, water pump and water, according to the need can also increase the heat dissipation structure. And water because of its physical properties, thermal conductivity is not better than metal (fan refrigeration through metal heat conduction), but the flow of water will have excellent thermal conductivity, that is to say, the cooling performance of the water-cooled radiator and the cooling liquid (water or other liquid) velocity is proportional to the flow rate of refrigeration liquid and refrigeration system pump power related. And the heat capacity of water is large, which makes the water cooling refrigeration system has a good heat load capacity. Five times as fast as an air-cooled system, resulting in the direct benefit of a very flat CPU operating temperature curve. For example, systems using air-cooled radiators will have temperature spikes in a short period of time when running programs with a large CPU load, or may exceed CPU alarm temperature, while water-cooled cooling systems have much smaller heat fluctuations due to their large heat capacity.
What are the advantages of integrated water-cooled radiators?
1. Easy installation: compared with the traditional water-cooled radiator, the installation of the integrated water-cooled radiator is very simple. The water-cooled liquid of the integrated water-cooled radiator has been filled when leaving the factory.
2. Good heat dissipation: The real advantage of water cooling is that it can handle CPU wattage much higher than any air-cooled radiator and is not affected by the high temperature inside the case. If used in a low-power CPU, a water-cooled radiator is not much better at cooling the CPU than a good air-cooled radiator. But when you're using a high-end or extremely overclocked CPU that generates a lot of heat, even a small DIY water cooling system will keep the CPU temperature pretty low.
Water cooling is an ideal cooling solution for overclocking players for high-power chips. When used on a non-gamer CPU, water cooling does not provide a huge performance boost over high-end air cooling, but can achieve low temperatures while producing much less noise than any air cooling solution.
3.High safety index: the traditional water-cooled radiator requires the player to install the liquid cooling, the installation is more troublesome, the need to have some experience, if the installation is not good circulation liquid leakage will wet the computer circuit board, this situation is quite dangerous. The integrated water-cooled liquid has been filled when leaving the factory, so the user does not have to worry about leakage.
In general, as a new type of water-cooled radiator, integrated water cooling is convenient to install and good heat dissipation, so it will be in a leading position in the future radiator market. The all-in-one water-cooled radiator is also a good choice for players who prefer quiet, easy to install and advanced water-cooled platforms.
