Water cooling PC set – the most important things at a glance

First and foremost it has to be said that water cooling is actually only required for very powerful computers or servers. But it can also be useful for ambitious gamers and hobby overclockers. Normally, cooling with fans and heat sinks is sufficient. A water cooler not only dissipates the heat better, but also reduces the volume.

A water cooling set for the PC consists of the following parts:

1. A radiator: This is where the heat emitted by the processor or graphics card is dissipated.

2. A pump: The pump ensures that the coolant remains in circulation and that the heat is transported from the radiator to the processor or graphics card.

3. A coolant: Distilled water is normally used as a coolant. It is important that there are no minerals in the water, otherwise they can deposit on the metal parts of the water cooler and block the circuit.

4. Hoses: The hoses connect the individual parts of the water cooling system to each other.

5. Heatsinks: The heatsinks are placed on the processor or graphics card and ensure that the heat is dissipated by the coolant.

6. Fans: The fans are optional and are only required if the radiator is not sufficiently cooled.

There are two types of water cooling kits:

1. AiO (AllinOne): These sets are completely pre-assembled and only need to be connected. They are particularly suitable for beginners or for people who are not interested in more complex water cooling.

2. Custom: These sets need to be assembled by yourself. They allow for better cooling as you can select and arrange the individual parts in whatever way you think will provide the best cooling. However, they are only suitable for people who are familiar with the construction and maintenance of water cooling.

The Alphacool Classic deburring tool offers the possibility of deburring HardTubes inside and outside. External deburring is extremely important so that the HardTubes fit perfectly and no O-ring is damaged. Internal deburring is only used to remove cutting residue.

  • Bending tool and silicone inserts. A silicone insert is essential for bending hard pipes. With the silicone insert you prevent the pipe from falling out at the curves. The silicone insert is moistened before inserting it into the tube so that it slips better. You should avoid using lubricants and too much soap.
  • The HardTubes and a heat gun that can generate low temperatures are still needed. And you can easily create a water cooling system with HardTubes.
