This water travels in a loop that usually contains a reservoir, radiator and pump. Modern 12 V DC pump technologies allow extremely powerful and quiet designs.

By efficiently transferring device heat to a separate heat exchanger that can use larger heat sinks or fans, water cooling can allow quieter overall operation. Devices such as [[GPU]]s, [[Northbridge (computing)|Northbridges]], [[Southbridge (computing)|Southbridges]], [[hard disk drive]]s, [[Random access memory|memory]], [[voltage regulator module]]s (VRMs), and even [[Power supply unit (computer)|power supplies]] can be separately watercooled;<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://koolance.com/1300-1700w-liquid-cooled-power-supply|title=Koolance 1300/1700W Liquid-Cooled Power Supply}}</ref> in fact [[Server immersion cooling|the whole PC]] can be immersed, in some cases.
