Computer cooling systems

1. Air cooling system:- Air cooling is done by use of normal fans and exhaust fans to throw the heat out of the system. Fans can be connected to GPUS, CPUS, Power Supply Units (PSU's), chip-sets, hard drives etc.

>For laptops :- If internal fans do not solve our problem of excessive laptop heating during playing high-end games, doing graphics intensive work , then we can buy external cooling pads.

For desktop computers:- We can install extra fans wherever necessary. 

Motherboards have extra fan connectors for installing fans in future.


2. Water cooling system:- This technique should be considered when air cooling is not so effective. Water cooling systems is used in data center and in industries to cool down power plants. For pcs it is a do it yourself (DIY) technique and doesn't come pre installed. Circulating water in pipes keeps the components cool.


3. Heatsinks :- It is the best method to prevent computer components from overheating. In electronic systems, a heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that cools a device by dissipating heat into the surrounding medium (wiki). CPUs, GPUs and chipsets have preinstalled heatsinks.

4. Liquid nitrogen cooling:-
As liquid nitrogen boils at -196 °C, far below the freezing point of water, it is valuable as an extreme coolant for short overclocking sessions.
In a typical installation of liquid nitrogen cooling, a copper or aluminum pipe is mounted on top of the processor or graphics card. After the system has been heavily insulated against condensation, the liquid nitrogen is poured into the pipe, resulting in temperatures well below -100 °C.
