Liquid heat sinks

A liquid cooler is a cooling system for electronic components, especially CPUs and GPUs in computers.

Unlike air coolers, which use fans and metal fins to dissipate heat, liquid coolers use a closed loop in which a liquid (usually a mixture of water and additives) absorbs heat from the component and transports it to a radiator, where it is cooled by fans.

This type of cooling is more efficient and quieter than air cooling, and is often used in gaming computers or those designed for high-performance tasks.
