Asetek Liquid Cooling Systems Have 5 Basic Components
Pump
Cold Plate
Radiator
Liquid Tubes
Cooling Liquid
The action begins with the GPU generating heat.
Heat transfers through the cold plate into the cooling liquid keeping the GPU cool.
Warm liquid is pushed by the pump into the outlet tube.
And heads into the radiator.
The chassis fan creates a gentle breeze through the radiator.
Heat from the cooling liquid is transferred to the breeze.
Heat is quietly blown out of the chassis, keeping the inside cool.
Cool liquid flows out of the radiator into the return tube.
The return tube delivers cool liquid back to the cold plate.
Sensors in the pump monitor liquid temperature.
As liquid temperature increases due to high GPU workloads.
Controls in the pump gradually adjust fan speed to increase cooling.
Liquid has a high thermal mass, meaning.
Sudden increases in GPU load raise liquid temperature slowly,
Controlling fans with liquid temperature results in a gradual and quiet response to sudden increases in load.
