4 PC Cooling techniques that demonstrate why heat sinks & fans are still the best cooling options.–PC Pitstop.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n By Damien for MakeTechEasier<\/p>\n Have you ever wondered why we haven\u2019t evolved from the basic fan and heat sink for the cooling of most consumer-level computers? Aside from liquid cooling (which is still a niche market at best), there seems to be no other alternative available. There are, however, a few people who aren\u2019t satisfied with simply thinking outside the box when it comes to CPU\/GPU cooling. They take that box, rip it out, and put their own in its place. Despite their best efforts, there\u2019s still a good reason why we\u2019re sticking to heat sinks and fans.<\/p>\n 1: Freon (R134A) Cooling<\/strong><\/p>\n The first image that pops into most people\u2019s heads when listening to the word \u201ccool\u201d is their fridge. It\u2019s logical, right? The appliance is loaded with a gas known as freon that circulates through a compressor in a way that cools down any given volume in a relatively short time.<\/p>\n It turns out that people have been building freon-cooled PCs for a while now.
