What is the best liquid for PC cooling?
At the very least, all you need is distilled water. That’s more than enough for your pump to move the liquid around and take heat from the blocks to the radiator. Why the biocide is added is to help protect all your parts from corrosion and prevent bacterial growth.
Is liquid cooling good for PC?
The flashier option for temperature management, liquid cooling offers incredible performance combined with a visual appeal that no other cooling system can match. In these systems, liquid (typically water) transfers heat away from components and is generally much better at heat management than air alone.
Is liquid cooling better than air cooling PC?
Even though water cooling is generally more efficient than air cooling, custom cooling loops and AIOs can’t really compete in terms of price. Sure, there are premium air coolers that can run at a higher price than a cheap AIO, but they can also outperform said budget AIOs, both in terms of cooling and noise.

How many watts can a 240mm radiator cool?
500W
At the same fan speed (1800 RPM) with the liquid temperature at 15°C higher than the ambient temperature, the same 240mm XE radiator could remove around 500W of heat.
How many radiators do I need watercooling?
The rule of thumb is to use at least one 120mm radiator (section) per each water cooled component plus one additional section. For example, if you’re liquid-cooling a CPU and a single high-performance graphics card, we recommend using at least one 360mm (3x 120mm) radiator for the best results.
Does a bigger radiator cool better PC?
Thicker radiators cool better if they have enough air flow. Between a thick and thin radiator with low to moderate but equal air flow the thinner radiator will very likely perform better.
