Currently it has become fashionable to mount liquid cooling, above all because of their beauty. This type of refrigeration will make the jump to an unexpected market: smartphones. OnePlus submitted a mobile liquid cooling system which has been seen these days during the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona.
Liquid coolers have earned a reputation for being better than any tower type heatsink. It is claimed that they are better at dissipating heat, although in the long term this is false, due to loss of liquid through micro evaporation. They’re also supposed to be quieter, although many have more fans than a tower type.
If a mobile gets so hot…
One of the great reviews that we all do Intel processors is your high consumption. This high consumption directly implies a high generation of heat. This requires installing powerful heat sinks to be able to handle so much heat.
Now we find that OnePlus has introduced a liquid cooling system for mobile phones. This system is called OnePlus 45W liquid cooling and it would be for the OnePlus 11 Concept.
The objective of this system is the game on smartphone, which generates a lot of heat by soliciting the processor. While mobile processors are far from desktop processors in power, while running a game, the heat generation increases. There are many on the market special fans for mobiles.
This system has two main parts. We have a to squeeze who is couples at different sizes of smartphone. Also we have a small box the size of a router (approximately) where the pump, fluid and fan
According to OnePlus, this cooling system makes it possible to reducate the temperature mobile while we play up to 20°C. It seems to be so, since various media highlight the effectiveness of this element. Note that at present no launch date is planned or price, which could well be around 100 dollars.
An element, necessary or useless?
Smartphones have a similar problem to M.2 SSDs. The smartphone is a very compact element where everything is compressed in very little space. They use processors of a different architecture than the more efficient desktop variants. But, they still have the problem of temperature when it becomes extremely stressed.
As with M.2 SSDs when under load, performance drops at high temperatures. This forces us to look for solutions that allow heat dissipation. Smartphone air coolers can be found in the market, ASUS has its own cooler for mobile phones.
Everyone plays where they can or where they want, now, is it a good platform to play on mobile? I will not go into evaluating this aspect, it is a war that is not worth it and where we are all going to lose. The truth is that they are used to playing and have a significant thermal problem.
This RL is not the best solution, but of course many play at home with a keyboard and mouse, because it can be a solution for them. Now I don’t see anyone carrying this thing in a backpack.
