| • | Watercooling is a method of heat removal from components. Contrary to air cooling, it uses water as the heat transmitter and is commonly used for cooling motors in automobiles. Other uses include cooling the lubricant oil of pumps; for cooling purposes in heat exchangers; and cooling products from tanks or columns. The advantages of using water cooling over air cooling include water's higher specific heat capacity, density and thermal conductivity, meaning water can transmit heat over greater distances with much less volumetric flow and reduced temperature difference. This leads to the primary advantage watercooling enjoys over conventional heatsinks: the tremendously increased ability to transport heat away from source to a secondary cooling surface allows for large, more optimally designed radiators rather then small, inefficient fins mounted on or near the CPU core. A typical watercooling setup consists of an object to be cooled, a pump which circulates the water and a radiator such as a large heatsink (possibly with a fan). These components are linked by tubes. An optional watercooling component is a reservoir, which helps to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the system. However, if the watercooling system is properly configured and sealed, there is no need for a reservoir, though it does make the system much easier and less time-consuming to fill. Another option is simply using a T-Line, which usually costs about $1. There is no need for either of these components, though one is recommended to make the operation quicker to fill and bleed.
