Go to solution Solved by loccilucas,

I know I've been posting a lot of stuff in the past little while but it is because I am about to make a possible $330.00 order on Amazon. I just want to know how an H110 liquid cooler works. I just plug it in and it works right? I don't need to buy anything else?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, it has a radiator with fans on it that transfer heat through water and the waterblock is what cools the processor?

Yeah, the pump on the water blocker pumps the water through the pipes and radiator. When the water goes through the water block it picks up the heat from the cpu. Then what water travels through the radiator where the fans effectively cool down the water so that it cab go back to the CPU and pick up some more heat. And yeah All you have to do is plug it in really.

The CPU waterblock has a pump inside that moves fluid thoughout the loop, through the tubes, through the radiator, and back to the CPU. The fluid transfers the heat much better than copper heatpipes, and the radiator expels the heat inso the air that fans push through it.

 

The radiator on the H110 is 2x140mm so your case needs to support a 280mm radiator for it to fit.

 

You plug the H110 into sata power (or motherboard 3 pin, I forgot which) and it will work out of the box.

I would get some form of aftermarket thermal paste, as the stock thermal paste has the consistency of rubber cement.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
