What is a CPU water cooler?

CPU water cooling is a cooling method where water is used to remove heat from the CPU. Water is a very efficient heat conductor and can remove heat from the CPU much faster than air. A CPU water cooler helps to keep your computer’s CPU cool by circulating water around it. A pump is used to circulate the water and a radiator is used to dissipate the heat. This helps to keep the CPU cooler and prevents it from overheating.

Water coolers – or liquid coolers – are more effective at cooling than air coolers, so if you are looking for the best possible cooling for your CPU, a water cooler is a good choice. Water coolers also tend to be quieter than air coolers, so if you are looking for a quiet cooling solution, a water cooler is a good choice.

The benefits of Asetek-based CPU water coolers

Asetek’s innovations continue to raise the bar for gamers looking for the ultimate in gameplay experience and enthusiasts looking for the ultimate in CPU cooling technology. 

When the innovative technology of the CPU water coolers from Asetek is in use, a lot of advantages are created. Water cooling is more effective than air cooling due to the higher heat capacity of the water compared to air, meaning it can absorb more heat before it reaches its boiling point. Additionally, water is a better conductor than air, meaning it can more efficiently transfer heat away from the CPU.

Asetek’s innovative liquid cooling technology

Designed from the ground up and optimized for AMD Ryzen™ 7000 and 5000 Series processors as well as Intel 13th and 12th generation processors, Asetek’s latest liquid cooling technology includes a plethora of innovations that deliver up to  2°C/100W improvement over its industry-leading 7th generation of liquid cooling technology.

By focussing on how the individual components that constitute an all-in-one liquid cooler interact with each other and how collectively they affect performance, Asetek has introduced:

• A new performance-engineered pump featuring a 3-phase motor for higher flow and quieter operation
• Larger diameter rubber tubes, larger HEX tubes and tanks, as well as wider and smoother flow paths in the pump to reduce flow impedance
• A newly designed square cold plate optimized for the latest AMD and Intel processors
• Optimized HEX designs that increase overall surface area and, at the same time, reduce air flow impedance
• Optional Autonomous Speed Control that allows the pump to auto-adjust its speed based on liquid temperature thereby enabling the pump to balance thermal and acoustic performance
• Under-the-hood system enhancements resulting in even quieter operation versus previous generations

Liquid CPU Coolers to gain high performance

If you’re a hardcore gamer and/or a DIY builder, a high-performing PC is of course a top priority. The technology of Asetek’s liquid coolers ensures a reliable cooling system for your CPU which is also a sustainable solution for the long haul. CPU cooling can improve performance by preventing the CPU from overheating. Overheating can cause the CPU to throttle itself, which can lead to reduced performance. Water cooling can improve performance by keeping the CPU cooler, which can lead to higher clock speeds and better performance.

We work closely with chipmakers to effectively meet the thermal needs of each new die heading to market, from affordable mainstream solutions to thrilling enthusiast-level processors and beyond.
