Liquid is more efficient and better suited for absorbing and transferring heat than air. The fluid used in Asetek's liquid cooling solutions is roughly 780 times denser than air, and this increased density enables liquid cooling to conduct heat about 24 times greater than air alone. Everyone who has felt the difference between cooling off by jumping into a pool versus stepping into an air conditioned room has experienced the superior cooling capability of liquid. In addition to proving superior heat conductivity, the liquid cooling solution is designed to move the heat from the processor to a large radiator surface area where a quiet low speed fan exhausts the heat outside the chassis. This results in superior CPU cooling performance, better acoustics, and extra protection for the components in your computer.
