Liquid CPU Cooler

Liquid CPU cooler is one of the most important computer part for overclocker user and enthusiast computer user, even for standard user. Usually, computer user who in the overclocking contest uses this liquid CPU cooler and this CPU Cooler type usually comes with big size and have more features and advantages performance. You can read below for more information about liquid CPU cooler system.
Liquid CPU Cooler
Thermaltake Pro Water Series CL-W0175

Liquid CPU cooler or also just called liquid cooling is essentially a radiator for the CPU inside of the computer. Just like a radiator for a car, a liquid cooling system circulates a liquid through a heat sink attached to the processor inside of the computer. As the liquid passes through the heat sink, heat is transferred from the hot processor to the cooler liquid. The cooled liquid then travels back through the system to the CPU to continue the process.
Thermaltake Big Water 735 CL-W0075

Liquid CPU cooler / cooling is a much more efficient system at drawing heat away from the processor and outside of the system. The other benefit of liquid cooling is the reduction of noise within the computer. Many high performance CPUs require fan speeds in excess of 7000 rpm that generate noise of 60+ decibels of noise.
Liquid CPU Cooler type sample
1. Air
2. Water
3. Nitrogen and others

Generally there are two moving parts to a liquid CPU cooler. The first is the impeller which is a fan immersed in the liquid to circulate the liquid through the system. Unfortunately there are a large number of disadvantages to liquid cooling in computer systems these days. Liquid cooling kits require a large amount of space within the computer case to work effectively.
reference : About.com, ThermaltakeUsa

For daily user or for standard user who don't want use overclock, liquid CPU cooler is not so important and We can still uses standard or stock CPU cooler, but for gamer or hard worker who uses computer more hard, the CPU heatsink will hottest !! you need good cooler such as this liquid CPU cooler system. Good luck.

AM3 CPU Cooler Review

Today let see the AM3 CPU Cooler review information and it is very important for me, and what should we do before we buy a CPU cooler? the answer is knowing the product. If we only know from one AM3 CPU cooler review source, we must be careful, because mistakes can happen in there, the best way is to compare all that exists, then we can compare it, where is the best and which are eligible to be purchased, agree?
AM3 CPU Cooler Review
Before you read all AM3 CPU cooler review article, I want to remind you, AM3 CPU cooler means this cooler use socket AM3, so you can choice it by following the label socket AM3 CPU cooler named, don't wrong to choice, there is a lot of AMD Cooler in the market, there is also available CPU cooler that supported AM3 only and not AM2 version, but luckily, almost all new AMD Cooler supported all AMD CPU socket such as for AM3, AM2, AM2+, and others AMD socket variant, and yes today usually all CPU coolers also supported both of Intel and AMD.
AM3 CPU Cooler Reviews
AM3 CPU cooler Performance is not everything
when we read an article review about the cpu cooler, we'll see the CPU cooler performance / ability, if we look at an cpu cooler which has the best performance, we are usually directly interested to buy it, but make no mistake, for daily computing, we do not need a best performace cpu cooler for our processor, see it? best performance point is not everything.
Cooler Master 212
For example Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, this is one of the best value of AM3 CPU cooler (in my opinion), from many of AM3 CPU cooler reviews on the internet, this Cooler Master 212 has good performance, even better than others expensive AM3 CPU cooler series. I know that there are available another best AM3 CPU cooler in the market, but is it better for our daily computing with expensive prices? and the point is - choose the right price and good performance not the best.

Here we go the completed AM3 CPU Cooler reviews from trusted web site :
http://benchmarkreviews.com

CPU Heatsink

CPU Heatsink is the most important CPU cooler parts, CPU heatsink usually come with fan for better temperature and to ensure your CPU stays cool and keep on best performance. Before we buy this CPU part, we must to know what is the meaning of CPU Heatsink or also just called CPU cooler, So this time, let see more closer about CPU heatsink design.
CPU Heatsink
CPU Heatsink - Intel stock cpu cooler

Are you have seen the CPU heatsink form? the Heatsink usually made of aluminum, it's a good medium to transfer the CPU heat. The Heatsink picture above is sample of Intel processor stock cooler, let see the another CPU heatsink form.
CPU Heatsink
It's another aftermarket CPU Heatsink
Cooler Master CPU Heatsink
Cooler Master CPU Heatsink
Asus Triton 88 CPU Heatsink
Asus Triton 88 CPU Heatsink

It's more CPU Heatsink explanation from Wikipedia :
"A heat sink is an object that transfers thermal energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature fluid medium. The fluid medium is frequently air, but can also be water or in the case of heat exchangers, refrigerants and oil. If the fluid medium is water, the 'heat sink' is frequently called a cold plate."
"A heat sink is a term for a component or assembly that transfers heat generated within a solid material to a fluid medium, such as air or a liquid."

There are a lot of CPU Heatsink (also named CPU cooler) type, such as liquid CPU cooler, air CPU cooler, silent CPU cooler, etc. Here is some good tips before you choose a CPU heatsink for your computer system :

- High heatsink surface
- Good aerodynamics
- Good thermal transfer within the heatsink
- Perfect flatness of the contact area
- Good mounting method
(4 tips from heatsink-guide.com)

Now, you already know what should you do before buying a "CPU heatsink", if you haven't much money for buying aftermarket CPU heatsink, you can still use your stock CPU heatsink, but if you want to get more better cooling system, you can buy it one.

Quiet AM3 CPU Cooler

Looking for quiet AM3 CPU cooler ? if bored with hard noise of your stock AM3 CPU cooler, you need the real silent quiet AM3 CPU cooler for your computer system. On this occasion, I will provide to you information about this product. Before we discuss this cooler series, let's look back a bit, actually, we do not need to purchase this product if we only use the computer as usual, but sometimes, we want to do a little optimization of our computer, especially on the cpu that we have, for example raising our CPU clock, so when the CPU work more than default value, the CPU fans will work more, and then CPU fan noise will be in your head!! everybody hate it..
Quiet AM3 CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
Quiet AM3 CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
A lot of people said that the AMD Phenom processor stock fans noise is not so good, and I thing it's no problem for me, the noise problem will coming if we doing some extreme overclocking, or we need a silent situation such as for working, at that time, we need quiet AM3 CPU cooler. When we're choosing a quiet AM3 CPU cooler, the first thing that we should notice is the performance, and then quality, prices, design and also must compatible with our system, in this case AM3 socket must paired with AM3 CPU cooler series.

Quiet AM3 CPU Cooler - Product List
