Alright I will. In a lot of builds a gigantic air cooler like that will cover the ram, totally defeating any rgb there. It looks fine on yours, Ill give you that. The other issue is you have to go gigantic to equal the cooling power of even medium sized AIOs. And even the biggest dual tower monsters would struggle to cool my 5800X3D.

Personally I don’t mind them but in my rig I have a Corsair link AIO with an LCD screen I love those because they have so much customisation options.

Air coolers are best.

I’m curious about the airflow to the fans above, but I’m no expert so god knows.
Looks great though!

It looks nice. I prefer my AIO, but have run a Noctua air cooler before and it performed excellently.

When it comes to looks it’s hard tubing > air coolers > soft tubing > AIO.

Looks like a window unit to me 😂. I bet that cpu is chilly though.

A large air cooler evokes the same feelings as a blower on an old school muscle car. A large, distracting, somewhat outdated piece of equipment made to keep whatever’s underneath it happy. It’s a symbol that something powerful and high maintenance is lurking underneath.
Didn’t want to spend that much on an air solution after my Lian Li AIO pump died.
It is worth every penny.

Bro, the beauty of the PC ecosystem is that you don’t have to fight over crap like this. You do you. Everyone gets what they want.
That’s why this sub is called what it is: not because of blind support for team X or Y, but because PCs can be made to be whatever you want or need them to be, without any single party determining how to enjoy your system. Because it can be anything, it’s always best.

Liquid cooling for pure performance.
Air cooling for pure Sex Appeal.
Change my mind.
Honestly I’d have to agree.

Also liquid in my PC makes me anxious.
Where are the fans for the cooler it self ?
Liquid triggers my anxiety so air it is for me.
Water coolers have more drip
Challenge accepted. AIO are better

Yep using a BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4.
Dude, I am so impressed with this cooler.
