Heatsink & Fans & Liquid Colling
The R7525 has 6 Hot-Swappable fans and two types of heat sinks. You will need to install the L-Type heat sink and GPU shroud if any GPUs are installed.
The new liquid cooling solution provides an efficient method to manage the system temperature. It also provides a liquid leak detection mechanism via iDRAC. This technology is managed by the Liquid Leak Sensor(LLS) mechanism. LLS determines leaks as small as 0.02 ml or as large as 0.2 ml. Not all systems need Liquid Cooling, this is mainly for when GPUs are installed. Please read the manual for more information on this.
