The pump head of the iCUE RGB ELITE Liquid CPU cooler comes pre-installed with the Intel mounting bracket. If you are using an AMD system, you will need to replace the mounting bracket with one that is AMD-compatible.To install AMD mounting brackets on the pump head:...
To safely overclock your CPU, you’ll need: A high-quality precision screwdriver kit with anti-static tools for safely accessing components Premiumthermal compoundfor optimal heat transfer between CPU and cooler A high-performance CPU cooler to handle the increased heat output ...
A liquid-cooling system for a PC works a lot like the cooling system of a car. Both take advantage of a basic principle of thermodynamics — that heat moves from warmer objects to cooler objects. As the cooler object gets warmer, the warmer object gets cooler. You can experience this prin...
Closed-loop liquid cooling solutions (CLCs) provide far cooler temperatures than air coolers with minimal hassle and easy installation. Smaller 120mm units are available, but if you plan on overclocking, consider moving up to a model with larger 240mm radiator or even a huge honking 360mm radia...
And that's it, you should now connect the air cooler's cable to the fan header on the motherboard to get it up and running. How to install a liquid cooler Needs a few additional steps to mount the radiator Installing a CPU liquid cooler is a little more complicated and involves a few...
The other way to improve cooling isn’t as much an improvement as a complete replacement. We’re talking aboutwater cooling. It has been proven that liquid cooling is better at dissipating heat, but you run the smallchanceof it accidentally breaking and completely ruining your entire PC. ...
So, there's usually no practical need to get a AiO liquid CPU cooler over a good CPU cooler unless you're on the extreme end of the spectrum and doing heavy overclocking on an extreme-tier CPU (where a high-end $150+ liquid cooler can be justified in terms of actual practicality). ...
