I am just wodnering if u should get liquid cooling. And exactly how does it work. Like how does it cool you hardware exactly. Just wondering thnks
 
Well...

Essentially, water is pumped through a "waterblock" basically a block of copper or aluminum, designed to fit where a traditional air cooled heatsink would go on the CPU. It then goes to a radiator similar to the one in the front of your car (although much smaller) which has some fans on it to cool it. The advantage is that the fans can be larger and therefore quieter, while achieving better cooling.

That's the best I can do at 6AM.

yes, or you can have a larger water pump and a REAL car/truck radiator paired with a 6ft blower
 
Not that I claim to know for sure... or that I've tried it, but I suspect the force required to get the water through a full size radiator would break the hoses or waterblock or something.
