What's the point?

Larger surface area

This could have gone into and you damn well know it

More effective than heat pipes
Relocating the heat sink releases you from weight and size restrictions.

No it isn't. Heatpipes are metal tubes. Mineral oil doesn't conduct heat as well as copper.

you have no idea what you're talking about

Yes I do.
Copper > mineral oil

if you put mineral oil in a loop, you'll fuck it up.

It's the most common liquid for loops, isn't it?

Water is the only thing used in loops.

Unless you're OC'ing, there is no point. CPU and GPU TDP these days is super low. Don't be a faggot that buys into hype. Save your money. Buy a better GPU.

Well where would the heat go?
The liquid takes the heat from the CPU and puts it somewhere else.
Without a radiator the heat just goes back to the CPU

with regular heatsinks, the hottest part is right where the chip is, and you have less heat the further away you get

with liquid cooling, you can more effectively 'move' the heat away from the chip, and through as many heatsinks as you like, more evenly

gpus (gtx 1080) are so good nowadays that games are starting to become CPU bottlenecked and not GPU bottlenecked.

What the actual fuck am I reading?

>with liquid cooling, you can more effectively 'move' the heat away
Neither of these retards understand temperature at all.

Copper, even commercial quality, is around a thousand times more thermally conducive than water.

Water only moves heat better than things like air or wood, it's a fucking joke substance for conductivity.

Liquid cooling setups use an enormous fan that wouldn't fit in an air-cooling setup to make up for them using inferior liquid as a heat pipe rather than a conducive metal.

>Copper, even commercial quality, is around a thousand times more thermally conducive than water.
that's really cool and all, and might be applicable if the water /wasn't moving/

You might be mixing up liquid cooling with mineral oil immersion. They're two very separate things. With water cooling you have a regular heat sink that is cooled by water, then the water is taken outside the case to be cooled by the air. With mineral oil immersion you fill a tank with mineral oil and dump your PC in. Mineral oil is non conductive so the electronics are fine.

well, if we want to get technical, distilled water with a silver kill coil is most often used.

fucking this

>silver kill coil
Or you could just not mix metals

>water totally doesnt erode anything guys
even if all of the radiators are one material sooner or later they will be contaminated with small fragments of what ever material they contain thus lessening the "life span" of the distilled water.

Thanks for explaining that. You're right, I mixed them up.

Heat pipes have a wick material saturated with a liquid inside of them. As the pipe heats, the liquid evaporates, and rapidly moves heat to the other end through thermal transfer. This is why even a lot of high end coolers don`t bother to use copper because the majority of the work is done by transferring heat through rapid evaporation and condensation. It`s completely passive liquid cooling.

A liquid cooler system actually heats the water and physically carries the heat with it in the moving water to a d radiator in a different location than the CPU. The benefits to this is It can consistently and continuously carry heat to a controlled or exterior cooling location.

The thing you`re failing to realize is the fact that literally all cooling solutions other than Liquid nitrogen, or phase change are ultimately limited to the thermal conductivity of AIR. But you can get way the fuck more surface area with a liquid cooling system than with a hunk of metal strapped to your cpu.

>Heatpipes are metal tubes.
And a water cooling block is a metal plate.

No you won't.

no
