The liquid cooling system in the Red Magic 11 Pro is primarily aesthetic, as the internal fan and vapor chamber do the bulk of the thermal management.

“There is one thing that I can't overlook here and that is that the water cooling system realistically is not doing a lot of cooling. It's just maybe moving heat around a little bit. The main cooling is being done by the two other cooling systems that are integrated into this phone.”

Mark notes that professional companies often avoid custom water cooling loops because they are prone to failure and lead to more returns.

“they said that they didn't do custom Loops anymore because they are unreliable and they end up getting a lot more returns from doing that”
