20 Best PC or Windows Cases for Water-Cooling

20 Best PC Cases for Water-Cooling Free Download 2023

 Best PC Cases for Water-Cooling look great and provide much better cooling to your major components, including your CPU and Graphics Card (Water block ones). Also, if you are an enthusiast and into extreme overclocking, water cooling will allow you to overclock your CPU and GPU to much higher frequencies. There are generally two types of liquid or water cooling; one is the custom loop water cooling where you build your water cooling loop using pipes/tubes, a pump, a radiator, Reservoir, coolant/water, a water block for the CPU, and Graphics Card. Another one is closed loop liquid cooling, where ready-made or pre-built AIO liquid coolers are available for direct use, and you have to mount the water block unit on the CPU and radiator on the case.

AIO water coolers are sealed units; you cannot open them or change or top up the coolant. There are also AIO liquid-cooled graphics cards, but they are only available for high-end GPUs. A custom loop water cooling performance is generally better than an AIO closed-loop liquid cooler. However, custom loop water cooling is more expensive than AIO liquid and air cooling.
