China has made AIO air coolers cheaper and more reliable. They are ๐Ÿ˜ beautiful and really want one with that infinity mirror but I am terrified of one leaking and destroying my entire computer.

I'm struggling to pick an AIO water cooler or a gigantic air cooler

(Random air cooler pictured above)

Is water-cooling safe? Or is it bourgeoise decadence?

scared ^___^

I just really don't like them. The performance gain isn't worth the maintenance and fear of waterboarding my pc.

I like good ole fashion cheapo fans. And a lot of em.

If my computer was supposed to have water in it, it would have come with scuba gear

I mean there's not really but either your pump is gonna break or the liquid will evaporate.

To me it's just much easier to plug in a fan then to replace an AIO
