Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional water-cooling radiators have a non-compact structure, are inconvenient to use, and suffer from poor heat dissipation due to the absence of a water pump and partitions, leading to inefficient cooling and heat dissipation.

Innovation Solution

An integrated liquid-cooling radiator design featuring two reservoirs with partitions and thermally conductive copper sheets, along with radiating pipes and a built-in liquid pump, enhancing flow speed and heat dissipation efficiency by extending the cooling liquid's flow path.
