Watercooling is a method of heat removal from components. Contrary to air cooling, it uses water as the heat transmitter and is commonly used for cooling motors in automobiles. Other uses include cooling the lubricant oil of pumps; for cooling purposes in heat exchangers; and cooling products from tanks or columns.
The advantages of using water cooling over air cooling include water's higher specific heat capacity, density and thermal conductivity, meaning water can transmit heat over greater distances with much less volumetric flow and reduced temperature difference. This leads to the primary advantage watercooling enjoys over conventional heatsinks: the tremendously increased ability to transport heat away from source to a secondary cooling surface allows for large, more optimally designed radiators rather than small, inefficient fins mounted on or near a heat source such as a CPU core.
A typical watercooling setup consists of an object to be cooled, a pump which circulates the water and a radiator such as a large heatsink (possibly with a fan). These components are linked by tubes.
