As most of you know,i like to overclock.Basically,overclock is increase your front side bus or multiplier to make your processor run beyond rated speed.The higher the clock speed,the hotter the processor run.So in order to remove the heat,there are various way of cooling.We will start from the basic way to the most extreme way.Sorry as it is rather rough.
Air Cool
This is the most basic form cooling and come with processor.This is rather simple as it only involve a heatsink and a fan.The best value for money air cooler is Xigmatek SHDT1283.The formula is simple,the heat go to the heatsink and the fan/air flow remove it away.
Liquid Cool
This is a good but little exotic form of cooling.Basically,it work like a car,using water as a source if heat remover.This form of cooling is a little complicated.it involve water pump,water block,water,radiator,fan and tline/reservoir.Because it involve water so the chance of failure is higher.When a leak occur,most likely your motherboard will fail.Liquid cool work in this way,cpu heat go to waterblock and is remove via radiator.
Single Stage Phase Change
This is a huge leap from liquid cooler.It can cool our component down to -50C or so!Because the temperature is sub zero and it is lower than ambient so insulation is needed to prevent condensation.This is basically a refrigerator on your computer.It use different phase to remove heat away.
Dry Ice
This is the most easy way to leap into sub zero cooling.it also need insulation to prevent from condensation.This is a very simple form of cooling to use and it is cheap.This involve pot and can cold down to -90 C.This is good for occasion extreme benchmarker like me as it is cheap.Will venture into Dry Ice soon.
Dual Stage Phase Change
This is the more complicated version of single stage phase change.Depend on refrigent use,it can cold down to -110C or so.
Liquid Nitrogen
This is the last stop of cooling.It can cold down to -190 C but this is depend on cold bug of your chip,usually at 100 C or so.This is same as Dry Ice but it use liquid nitrogen instead of dry ice.
