    Idk enough about physics to argue in good faith but I feel like that’s not right…

    I thought it was because water was good at cooling because it dissipates the excess energy ridiculously quickly.

    Maybe that’s the same thing idk I just fuckin woke up 🤷‍♂️

      Heat sink heats the water which then moves to the fans

      The cool water takes it’s place to absorb more heat

      In air cooling you’re hoping for passing air to cool off the heatsink
