Sound Card
If you want a truly premium audio experience on your PC, a dedicated sound card is recommended. While every motherboard comes with a built-in sound card, it’s often not designed for the highest audio quality. If you own high-quality headphones or speakers, or plan to acquire them, a dedicated sound card can significantly enhance sound quality. It allows you to unleash the full potential of your audio devices and enjoy an impressive audio experience.
WIFI Adapter
If you require wireless connectivity, there are two options. Either your motherboard has integrated Wi-Fi antennas (WIFI), or you need an external WLAN adapter to establish a wireless connection.
Water Cooling
While it may sound unusual, using water for PC cooling is an extremely efficient albeit costly method. There are two main types of water cooling: custom loop and All-in-One (AIO) water cooling.
Custom loop water cooling involves assembling components including a pump to circulate water through hoses to the CPU and/or GPU, a water block to transfer heat from components, and a radiator to dissipate heat from the coolant.
AIO water coolers, on the other hand, are pre-configured closed-loop systems that combine a pump, water block, and radiator. They are easier to install and require less maintenance compared to custom loop setups.
Both types of water cooling offer superior heat dissipation compared to traditional air cooling. They allow precise temperature control and can enhance overall system performance. However, note that water cooling setups can be more complex to install and maintain and come with higher costs.
