Exam 220-1101 topic 1 question 552 discussion

Liquid cooling is an effective solution for managing the high heat output that can result from overclocking a GPU. It's more efficient than air cooling methods (like larger heat sinks or fan upgrades) and can better maintain lower temperatures under load, reducing the risk of overheating.

These answers align with the CompTIA A+ certification objectives and are derived from the official CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) and Core 2 (220-1102) Exam Objectives documents.

To address potential overheating concerns when overclocking a GPU, the best option would be: B. Liquid cooling. Liquid cooling systems are highly effective at dissipating heat generated by overclocked components, such as GPUs. They use a liquid coolant to absorb heat from the GPU and transfer it away from the component, providing superior cooling performance compared to air cooling solutions like larger heat sinks or fan upgrades. Thicker thermal pads can also help with heat dissipation, but they may not be as effective as liquid cooling for significant overclocking.
