High-end PCs have always been a big fan of heat. It's pretty good to be able to control full-load CPUs and GPUs at around 50 degrees. However, how much heat should be used? LinusTechTips brings a new phase of brainstorming. 'The program, the PC water cooling and the room radiator connected, have to say, a high-end PC heating table is quite awkward.

In general, water cooling is carried out by using the liquid coolant to flow through the surface of the CPU or GPU chip to take away heat, and then flow it to the cold row to take away the heat of the liquid with a fan. In this way, the LTT will directly heat the home. The chip is connected to the CPU and GPU water cooling to form a giant passive radiator.
However, prior to connecting, LTT still took a lot of effort to flush the interior of the radiator to prevent the rust from entering the entire water cooling system in the metal pipe, and to damage the CPU and GPU. However, because they only perform short-term tests, they have omitted further The cold water protection measures.
The end result is quite satisfactory. This machine equipped with AMD 'Thread Rip' CPU and GTX 1080 kept the core temperature below 35 degrees, while the heat sink temperature reached 36-7 degrees.
However, the result of omitting the protective measures of the liquid coolant is that the internal circulation is still contaminated by the heat sink, and the cold head and the water tank are yellowish.
Of course, taking into account the temperature of the environment, the actual temperature in winter may be lower. If you want to make the heating effect a little better, you can consider using a more powerful CPU and GPU, and then fully loaded with a machine, and then Not afraid of the cold winter.
