Advantages of heat-conducting media：The specific heat capacity of water or other coolants is much higher than that of air. They can quickly absorb and transfer heat, and are particularly suitable for high TDP processors (such as Intel i9, AMD Ryzen 9) or overclocking scenarios.
Large-sized cold radiator heat dissipation：The larger the area of the cold radiator (such as 120mm/240mm/360mm, etc.), the stronger the heat dissipation performance. For instance, a 360mm water-cooled system can be used to press 300W+ TDP.
The temperature fluctuation is gentle.：The thermal inertia of the water-cooling system is large, and the temperature change is more gentle under short-term load fluctuations.
Reduce fan dependence：The noise of a water pump is usually lower than that of a high-speed air-cooled fan, and the cold exhaust fan can operate at a low speed (especially with a significant noise advantage under high load).
Avoid conflicts in the computer case air ducts：It does not rely on the airflow inside the chassis, reducing the turbulent noise caused by the stacking of fans.
Avoid the crowded areas of the motherboard：The volume of the cold head is usually smaller than that of large tower air coolers to avoid blocking memory, VRM heat sinks or PCIe slots.
Flexible installation position：The radiator can be fixed on the top, front panel or side of the case, adapting to different case structures (note the thickness of the radiator and the compatibility of the fan).
RGB lighting effect integration：The cold head is often equipped with programmable RGB (such as LCD screen to display temperature/animation), and the cold exhaust fan also supports synchronous light effects.
Split water-cooled expandability：Customizable waterways, cooling heads, cooling radiators and hard/soft pipes are available, making it suitable for DIY enthusiasts to create unique systems.
All-in-one (AIO) maintenance-free：The closed design does not require coolant replacement and usually has a lifespan of 3 to 5 years (note the aging issue of the pump body).
The split type requires regular maintenance：It is necessary to check the purity of the coolant, the sealing of the pipelines and the anti-corrosion/algae measures.
