Watercooling is based on closed loop systems. The water gets cycled around in circles and acts as a "transport" for the heat. The heat gets taken from the CPU and then is dissipated in the radiator.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Not sure I understand your question correctly but anyway, in that kind of all-in-one liquid cooler the "water" (it's actually coolant - a mix of distilled water and chemicals) is already in the radiator, tubing and the waterblock. The water flows through the copper CPU block and the heat is transfered from the block to the liquid, which is then dissipated out of/ into the case via the radiator.

 

Or simply put, the liquid moves the heat from the CPU to the radiator, then out.

Me: Yeah I just really can't get my H220 working again, I've tried everything that was suggested in the forum.

Brian (Swiftech Support): Hmm, have you tried slapping it?

Ye the water is used as a way of removing the heat from the components that are trying to be cooled. The water which s warmed up dissipates its heat in the radiator and the fans of the radiator then has fans that remove the heat from the radiator.

You must be living in a cold country to get 15C on idle! Is it winter over there?

By Enabling C States in Bios... I get those temps too

Clearly you missed some physics classes in school. You can't use air to cool water to temperatures lower than the room temperature. The air that is being used, let's say, is 25 degrees Celsius. It is impossible to get lower temps than 25C.

WC is not worth it unless you are overclocking like crazy.

I have a CM blizzard t2 and i get real good temps with a FX-6300. All you need is nice heatpipes with copper, check fin density and a buy silent fan.. those corsair are way too expensive for what they do..
