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 - Drawing a Circle with python

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a circle in OpenCV. OpenCV comes with lots of built-in functions that make our life easier especially when we are working on image processing .  And there is a function called circle in OpenCV which is used to draw a circle. This function takes following parameters: 1. Image : Takes an image object 2. Center : Center point coordinates 3. Radius : Radius of the circle 4. Color : Takes color in BGR format 5. Thickness : By default set to 1 (optional) 6. Line Type : By default set to 8-connected.It can also be  LINE_AA  or  4-connected  (Optional) 7. Shift:  Shifts fractional bits in the point coordinates of center and radius (Optional) Especially when we are creating closed shapes. Thickness plays an important role. Here if the negative thickness is passed in this function or any other function which creates a closed shape(rectangle, polygon, etc). Then it creates a filled shape (filled with color). Negative Thickness Filled Circle Positive ...

PS3 - Dragon Ball Z Battle Of Z - RPCS3 Setting

Hi GuyZ, Today, I am going to show you, how to play PS3 games on PC using the RPCS3 Emulator. It is very easy to set up and play PS3 Games. I got to know about this emulator some time ago and I thought I should give it a try . Initially I was not sure that whether it would work or not. But at last, it worked. I found it very easy to set up and play PS3 games . Although this emulator is still in the development stage so you may encounter some errors. I haven’t got any errors. In this tutorial, I am using the PS3 PKG file. This emulator also supports dumping ps3 disc and ISO Images. Prerequisites: RPCS3 Emulator PS3 Update File Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable PS3 .pkg and Rap File Important Tip Before downloading any game make sure it comes under the playable section of rpcs3 compatibility. To check which game you can play using RPCS3 click HERE. Games that are showing in the Playable Section are actually the games that are in running state and can be played using RPCS3 E...
