What Is Computer Liquid Cooling

So what is liquid cooling then? Well firstly, everybody knows that CPUs are getting faster and faster every single day. What comes with these faster speeds are an increasing number of transistors inside of CPUs, and also more power is being used. What does this all mean? Well, a lot more heat is being produced!

These days you won’t find a processor on the market without its own heatsink to lower the generated heat caused by the CPU. But as CPUs continue to rise in speed over time, so do the speed of fans to combat the problem. And the faster the fans, the louder they become. So that’s why we turn to other cooling solutions, and that is where computer liquid cooling comes into play.

Liquid Cooling

Just like a radiator in your car, PC liquid cooling systems work similarly to reduce the heat caused by CPUs. The system works by circulating a liquid through the CPU’s heatsink. The liquid works to absorb the heat from the hot CPU, and then the liquid moves towards a radiator located at the rear of your computer’s case. The radiator then transfers the heat out the back of the computer case and into the air. The liquid then repeats this process over again by traveling back through the CPU.

It may sound complicated, but it’s a very simple process in reality.

Advantages And Disadvantages of Liquid Cooling
Liquid cooling systems for your PC are a very efficient way to draw heat away from your CPU, and are a big advantage to overclockers. With liquid cooling, the CPUs temperature is less and therefore this allows for higher clock speeds. For example, some extreme overclockers have been able to almost double their processor speed with the use of liquid cooling systems.

Another advantage of computer liquid cooling is that it reduces the noise of your PC. As opposed to a lot of heatsink and fans, a liquid cooling system is going to run a lot quieter. The system generally contains two fans, one is the fan to move the liquid throughout the PC and the other is the fan at the back of the PC case. Both of these fans are fairly quiet because they don’t need to run very fast, as compared to the fast-spinning (and therefore noisy) fans on a CPU heatsink.

The main disadvantage to liquid cooling at the moment is space. All the parts of the system take up a fair bit of space, and so you will need to have a large case to fit the cooling system. Another downside would have to be the difficulty of installing such a system. You wouldn’t want to be installing it yourself if you’re not 100% sure of what you’re doing, as you may damage your other components if there are leakages.

Automation - Update Naukri Profile Using Selenium

Recently one of my friend came to me with a problem. He is looking out for new job but he feels quite boring to update  his profile on daily basis. As some people says updating profile in the morning gives you more calls as it keeps the newly updated profile on top (Although i don’t know whether naukri works this way or not 😀 ). As i was more interested to solve his problem.  After listening his problem i came to solution that instead of updating it manually lets make this job automatic. And it is quite interesting how we can automate our daily boring task with automation. Another day i came with the solution . And the solution was to make it automatic using selenium (Those who are not aware about selenium do check this link) In short, Selenium is a Testing automation Framework. And it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well....

OpenCV - Image Filters

Hello Guys, In this tutorial, I will discuss the color map in OpenCV. Color Map is used to show different color temperatures. And this can also be used to generate some cool image filters.  OpenCV comes with thirteen built-in color maps. So in this tutorial, I will show you how to use color maps.  Let’s get started List of Color Maps COLORMAP_AUTUMN COLORMAP_BONE COLORMAP_JET COLORMAP_WINTER COLORMAP_RAINBOW COLORMAP_OCEAN COLORMAP_SUMMER COLORMAP_SPRING COLORMAP_COOL COLORMAP_HSV COLORMAP_PINK COLORMAP_HOT COLORMAP_PARULA To apply color map first we need to convert an image to grayscale. So I will use  img = cv.imread("nature.jpg",cv.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE) If you are not aware of this function then please check my previous tutorial  http://techievaibhav.in/2019/01/10/reading-an-image-using-opencv/ To apply color maps, OpenCV comes with a function called applyColorMap() . This function takes two parameters. Gray Scale image Color Map Autumn Bone Cool Hot HSV Jet Ocean Parula Pink ...

Android - Show A Dialog From Service

In this article, I will be discussing how you can create a dialog from service. As we all know that service in android does not have any UI and it is intended for long-running background tasks. But sometimes it is required to show some information to the user when your app is running in the background. Today I will show you how you can implement this type of functionality in your application. Before starting the tutorial let me tell you about the special permission that we are going to use. Permission AndroidManifest.xml<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/> This permission allows the app to use the system level window. AndroidManifest.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.app.dialogfromservice"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/> <appl...
