take fans welcome back once again to tech of tomorrow I'm your co-host and today we're gonna talk to you guys about the different types of cooling methods used for the PC I know for a lot of people out there advanced users like oh I know all that stuff but believe it or not I get email all time from people saying hey I still don't know what these different types of cooling are so for those people are interested stay tuned because let's check it out and let's talk about the different types of cooling that you can use on your PC in the beginning CPUs weren't very hot at all they actually ran quite cool they start off using them in phone technology and that sidestep many many years ago before you even saw the onset of the PC and for those type of things they used what was called passive cooling now passive coin was basically just a heatsink on top of the CPU that helped dissipate the heat away from it there was no fan no moving parts no nothing like that whatsoever that's passive cooling not exactly what any of us is enthusiasts use these days we all need to have at least what the next step in the phase is and that is active cooling what is active cooling more like the name active you know suggests it means there's something moving something's happening that means a fan so we've been active cooling you get the heatsink usually some a bunch of heat fins to help take that stuff away and dissipate it then you get a fan helping to blow it away even more away from the CPU there are however a lot of uses for air cooling around the world the only thing is though is if you live in a really really super hot place to keep that damn thing cool you're gonna have to have that fan going full blast which is gonna create a lot of noise now things like not to us silver arrow these have been proven again over and over again with the right CPU they can do great cooling and achieve decent overclocking events next up is liquid cooling and this is what I personally prefer it's what I've been using for years and it's just like basically my cup of tea when it comes to cooling now as far as liquid cooling goes there are two types of units that you can get your hands on there's a closed loop system now most closed loop systems contain a single radiator the heat sink your pump and all your stuff is all pre bill inside of it and you be just put this onto your system just like you'd attach a normal heat sink and fan unit only difference is it's prefilled liquid the drawback to this however is no expansion is very very limited and it's usually only used for one component in a system at a time custom loop systems are an entirely different breed of animal and these are what we usually base our systems on here at tikka tomorrow once in a while we'll use a closed loop system because we like to make things nice and convenient but if we're building some kind of crazy super system you can bet it's going to be a custom loop system so what does that mean custom loop system oh what's he talking about speaking alien so basically a custom loop system is you can cool many different parts you can go all crazy you can cool your memory you can cool your CPU your GPU you can cool it all attach a bunch of multi different radiators pumps and have this huge giant system going that's gonna keep your system running cool and pretty damn quiet now this requires though somebody who has at least a little bit of degree of knowledge on how to be technical on how to do technical stuff when I got sick I finally decided I need somebody to help me do this stuff so I hired Anthea Reynolds you guys know mr. Asha - he's our own house builder and he's been doing this stuff for me for years and years and years I really like a custom loop system and I kind of always had a general rule of thumb like one rad per part so like for me if I have a CPU then I need a rad for my CPU maybe single-single might work or maybe double depending on the build but at a video card I want another rat I got another video card I want to know the rad the reason for this is that the more liquid I've got flowing that system and flowing through their radiators then the cooler my system is going to be able to be when my CPU is running hot now this next type of cooling kind of like went out kind of like disco did and this is called Peltier or thermoelectric cooling this was actually cool before CPUs actually became really hot yeah I'm just saying that's really how it was the problem is its refrigeration type cooling you have one side a tag that's very very cold like refrigerator but the other side of that is very very hot and that needs to be cooled well you cool it use water liquid anything else that can sometimes create condensation and as CPUs became hotter and hotter and Peltier cooling just kind of like just slid the backseat because it's really only good to keep a CPU cool that you know is not gonna be running too hot so those are all the types and stuff that you use for cooling at your home any of these types can be done depending on your technical level or if you want to have a buddy come help you you can use and do all those types of things at home and they're all available now some drawbacks I also feel about Peltier that killed it was you needed a totally separate 12 volt power supply yeah which is like it a cost of like you know 60 80 bucks just to be able to power the coil that was doing the Peltier so rather expensive didn't work well went out the window now are there other types of cooling out there yeah there are there are plenty of guys out there go out to the extreme overclocking events and they're doing all kinds of crazy stuff with liquid nitrogen and all kinds of other stuff but this stuff is not for the home user at all you're not gonna really see a guy at home and you know talking to his friends what are you doing do it all I'm liquid nitrogen all day long just cooling my computer it's just too much hassle nobody is really going to be doing it sometimes you get special licensing depending on where you live to get that giant tank you know over to your house to be able to use anything what are you well there or something or what else are you doing hmm so it's just a lot you know I paying the butt to use those stuff but if you're gonna become an extremely overclocker then hey you may want to check out some of those pro got there and see what they do but none of that stuff's for a home use the stuff I'll talked about today can be done by anybody at home so thanks for watching tikka tomorrow another host on I hope you guys like this video I know for people out there there's one question that I got to talk about and that is done ambient temperature gotta apologize I made a video before and I said the ambient temperature was different between the different cooling I was entirely wrong the energy is all the same so no matter what kind of cooling that you're using the ambient temperature room will be affected the same depending on what side of system you're using because the heat and the energy obviously has to go somewhere so peace out thanks for watching you see you get
