What is CPU radiator?

2024-04-02

The heat dissipation performance of the water-cooled radiator is directly proportional to the flow rate of the cooling liquid (water or other liquid), and the flow rate of the refrigerant liquid is related to the power of the water pump of the refrigeration system. Moreover, the heat capacity of water is large, which makes the water-cooled refrigeration system have good heat load capacity. It is equivalent to 5 times that of an air-cooled system, and the direct benefit is that the CPU operating temperature curve is very flat. For example, a system using an air-cooled radiator will experience a temperature spike in a short period of time when running a program with a heavy CPU load, or may exceed the CPU warning temperature. However, a water-cooled heat dissipation system has relatively small thermal fluctuations due to its large heat capacity. Much more.


Principle of CPU radiator

From the perspective of water cooling heat dissipation principles, it can be divided into two categories: active water cooling and passive water cooling. In addition to having all the accessories of the water-cooling radiator, active water cooling also needs to install a cooling fan to assist in heat dissipation, which can greatly improve the heat dissipation effect.

Passive water cooling does not install any cooling fans and only relies on the water cooling radiator itself for heat dissipation. At most, some heat sinks are added to assist heat dissipation. This water cooling method is less effective than active water cooling, but it can achieve a completely silent effect.


Effect of CPU radiator

High temperature will not only cause the system to run unstable, shorten its service life, but may even cause some components to burn out. The heat that causes high temperatures does not come from outside the computer, but from inside the computer. The function of the radiator is to absorb this heat and ensure that the temperature of the computer components is normal. There are many types of radiators. CPUs, graphics cards, motherboard chipsets, hard drives, chassis, power supplies, and even optical drives and memory all require radiators. These different radiators cannot be mixed, and the most common one is the CPU radiator. . Subdivided heat dissipation methods can be divided into air cooling, heat pipes, water cooling, semiconductor refrigeration, compressor refrigeration, etc.
