Answers
C.
Upgrade the CPU fan.
D.
Install liquid cooling.
Answers
D.
Install liquid cooling.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Liquid cooling is a method of cooling the CPU by circulating a liquid through a closed loop that absorbs heat from the CPU and transfers it to a radiator. Liquid cooling is more effective and quieter than air cooling, which uses a fan and a heat sink. However, liquid cooling is also more expensive and complex to install. Upgrading the thermal paste, using a copper heat sink, or upgrading the CPU fan are ways to improve air cooling, but they will not lower the CPU temperature as much as liquid cooling.
