When liquid cooling is mentioned, processor solutions usually come to mind first. From time to time, we also see expensive graphics cards offered with ready-made liquid cooling solutions. Special liquid cooling design is quite laborious and risky at the same time.
Lynk+ from Germany offers a new solution. Lynk+ and GPU manufacturer Palit came together and exhibited their new liquid cooling product for hardware enthusiasts at Computex. Lynk+’s modular AIO liquid cooler was unveiled along with the prototype RTX 4090 with an aluminum water block.
Unlike ordinary AIO coolers, Lynk+’s product does not come with tubes connected to the block. You take a plastic part called a quick connector and insert it into the compartment in the water block of the graphics card, using a screw to fix it. Then the tubes are screwed into the quick connector. The pump itself is located on the radiator.
Since you do not put coolant into the tubes or touch the coolant, there is no risk of leakage. Theoretically you can use a single AIO to cool your CPU and GPU. Or, for a system with two GPUs, you can daisy-chain multiple radiators with multiple water blocks.
Two different prototypes were exhibited at Palit’s Computex 2024 stand. One of them also comes with a 7-inch screen. So the graphics card not only stays cool, but can also display statistics such as hardware data or FPS values in the game.
The Lynk+ representative highlights that the aluminum water block has an internal, patented vapor chamber that provides better cooling than most open-loop systems. However, they claim that it can power the graphics card by drawing a 500W load, which is about 50W above average, and maintain the temperature at just 60 degrees.
