A Silent PC for
a Tranquil Work Environment

Traditionally, workstations have been cooled by high-RPM case fans and heatsinks. This methodology is effective for most applications, but there are trade-offs. Air cooling is loud and inefficient. Liquid is far more effective than air for carrying heat away from the CPU and GPU. As a result, the fans that run the cooling system can run at lower RPM than traditional case fans. This allows the user to enjoy a nearly silent work environment, even while sitting right next to their system.

Why Liquid Cooled Workstations?

As anyone familiar with computer hardware knows, computational loads create heat. Lots of heat. As a result, it is essential to have a good cooling system to keep the pc components from running at excessively high temperatures, which can dramatically shorten their duty cycle. Traditionally, PCs have been temperature controlled by air cooling. A copper heatsink with a loud built-in fan is affixed to the CPU (and other components, such as the GPU). The fan pulls air through the copper fins of the heatsink, which causes the heat to flow naturally from the CPU into the copper of the heatsink. It’s cheap, reasonably effective, and there’s no maintenance required (other than blowing out the dust periodically). However, there are certain circumstances when the efficiency and quiet operation of water cooled workstations are the ideal tool for the job. The two main use cases are:

The workload is demanding enough to cause the hardware components to heat up beyond the capabilities of an air cooling system.
The fans in an air cooled system are so disruptive for the work environment, a silent PC is much preferred.

How Liquid Cooling
Makes a Quiet PC

Water cooled workstations are cooled much more efficiently and quietly than their air cooled counterparts. The copper heatsink contains a hollowed-out chamber in the center, through which the cooling fluid flows. Pipes leading to and from the heatsink pull the heated coolant up to the top of the case where it then flows through a radiator which is cooled by large, quiet, low-RPM fans. Liquid is much more effective than air at carrying heat away from the CPU. Think of the system as a smaller version of the cooling system in your car. The coolant circulates from the hot engine block, through the cool radiator, and back to the engine.
