Cooling System
A cooling system in a computer manages heat generated by components like the CPU, GPU, VRMs, and storage. Without proper cooling, these parts can throttle performance, crash, or suffer permanent damage. Types of Cooling Systems Type Description Use Case Air Cooling Uses heatsinks and fans to dissipate heat Most desktops and laptops Liquid Cooling (AIO/Custom Loop) Circulates coolant through a loop to transfer heat to a radiator High-performance PCs, overclocking Passive Cooling No fans; relies on heat sinks and airflow Silent systems, embedded devices Vapor Chamber Flat heat spreader using phase-change cooling High-end GPUs, gaming laptops Thermoelectric (Peltier) Uses electric current to move heat Experimental or niche cooling Immersion Cooling Hardware submerged in non-conductive fluid Data centers, extreme HPC setups Key Components in...
