In the market we can find different ways to get the best cooling for our PC. One of the most popular and expensive is to use an AIO liquid cooling system, a system that is associated with excessive noise level in most cases. Traditional fans, depending on the model, are also not very quiet systems.
Accessories company Wieland is working on a liquid cooling system project that removes the pump, which will significantly reduce the price generated by this type of AIO systems.
Liquid cooling without pump
This project is still in development so we still don’t know precise details about it, however, overclocker Der8auer has had access to the project and we already know what its performance is and if this project designed to reduce the level of performance is worth really worth it. the noise of traditional AIOs with pump.
Der8aur analyzed an AIO unit to see how it includes 2 x 120mm fans as well as a metal plate responsible for managing heat transfer from the CPU to the cooling circuit.
The Wieland AIO, the heatsink that this overclocker had access to, replaced the physical pump that is responsible for dissipate heat by a metal plate. This system is not new since it is commonly used in the industry, but, until now, it had not been seen in the PC segment, so its cooling capacity may not be the best of all.
This overclocker performed a benchmark test where he checked how it delivers decent performance and comparing the results with the Corsair H150ia model that includes an AIO pump, one of the best liquid cooling systems that can be found on the market and that can be found on the market for more than 200 dollars.
The temperature difference between the Wieland model and the Corsair cooling system was 8 degrees, a difference that in some cases can be worrying. Since this is a project in the development stage, there may still be room for improvement to reduce the temperature difference and allow users to forget about the pumpless systems and where everything would be advantages, provided we do not overclock our PC.
Advantages of a pumpless liquid cooling system
And pumpless cooling system This represents a series of advantages in every sense. The first, the price, since production costs are reduced. Secondly, the noise level will be significantly reduced and thirdly, it will be much easier to maintain.
We will have to wait for its official presentation, but, for the moment, everything seems to indicate that this cooling system is designed for computers where overclocking is not carried out, although it is possible that it is really designed for this type of equipment, taking into account the user who had access to this new cooling system.
