Figure 3-40 Cool retail heat sink

The last choice is the most impressive of all: liquid cooling! Liquid

cooling works by running some liquid—usually water—through a metal

block that sits on top of your CPU, absorbing heat. The liquid gets heated by

the block, runs out of the block and into something that cools the liquid, and

is then pumped through the block again. Any liquid-cooling system consists

of three main parts:

• A hollow metal block that sits on the CPU

• A pump to move the liquid around

• Some device to cool the liquid

And of course, you need plenty of hosing to hook them all together. Figure

3-41 shows a typical liquid-cooled CPU.
