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

(Random air cooler pictured above)

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

    can't you still get basically the same performance with a big radiator and fans? I was pretty sure the appeal of liquid cooling was still form factor/aesthetics, not that it's actually better

      I think the 2 coolers in the pictures actually perform exactly the same, it's just massive and would block RGB RAM if you have it lol
