China has made AIO air coolers cheaper and more reliable. They are 😍 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

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

I've used a AIO water block on my PC that has given me no issues for a few years now. If you have a smaller case/a case with bad airflow, it's worth it for a water cooler. But if your case has good airflow, if you have a AMD processor the cooler it came with is solid. if you have Intel I would get some sort of cooler, either air or water.
I admit I would be doing it entirely for looks since the Frozen Notte AIO and Phantom Spirit Fans I'm looking at are the same price (and will have lots of airflow) 😭
Though I'm concerned I would be paranoid about it for the entire time I'll have it, the last time I got a new computer was over a decade ago lol
In that case, like I said mine has been fine for several years now. The only issue I have had is that the pump ticks when it goes at full speed because I didn't know what I was doing when I first got it. Keep the speed for the pump constant and around 75%-80% and you're golden.
