Water Cooling VS Air Cooling (What YOU need to know)

Picking between an air cooler and a water cooler for most people mainly comes down to the cost of the two, but there are a ton of other factors people should take into account when deciding on which one to go for.

I always felt like using a water cooler wasn't the greatest idea. Mainly because water and electronics don't mix.

Got a 40 dollar cooler and it’s a big jump from the stock intel cooler, works nice and feels good that I made the right choice I don’t like risk especially my experience pc. It stays around low 60c’s which isn’t that bad

[patrickdiks]

Must say the cheap thermal right aios aren't bad for under 100 bucks

Don't forget a loud high pitch pump whine with an AIO.

Are there any good looking fans though? Your PC on display looks good because of the AIO

Just found your channel today. I'm enjoying watching your videos. Do you have any suggestions for pre-built pcs or pc companies? I need a new pc soon, but I'm not very educated on pc parts and their pricing, etc.

my last build im using at the moment is a itx build... i only have tiny cpu fan on it.. it gets pretty loud when itis working more than internet explorer...def will switch to matx in my next build.. still not sure if i will go with a140mm air cooler or with a 280aio...

Strange enough i can't see the "Gamerstorm Assassin III" in the list air coolers.
While this particulair cooler has fantastic performance.
My cpu runs even below ambient temps when idle with this air cooler.

I grew up with clicky HDD's a little fan noise never bothers me... In fact I find it soothing and pleasurable... Dead silence is what freaks my brain out... I always fall asleep to youtube or music cuz i hate silence so much..

Just to save people time:
If youre on a budget, air cooler is fine.
If you're wanting performance and have the money, get water.
Water is better at displacing heat and aios have a longer time to max which is a lot easier on your electronics so they'll last longer.
I swear the air cooling elitists are in a cult and in denial.

[viarnay]

Water cooling is just ridicously expensive and complicated I only recommend it when setup is working under extrem harsh conditions..

[Joreel]

Do you feel like CoolMaster makes reliable AIOs?

[Omen]

I always thought water cooling was more efficient

THE AIR COOLER GET CLOT WITH DUST SO THEY PERFORMEST GOES DOWN HILL STARTING DAY YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT APART AND CLEAN AND TAKE ALL THAT DUST THAT CLOTING THE FINS ONCE A YEAR, THE LARGE ONES SCREW THE FLOW OF WHAT GOING ON INSIDE YOUR CASE , BETTER WITH WATER COLOR DOES NOT ATTRACT DUST ON YOUR MB AND THE AIR FLOW GOES WHERE IS SUPPOSE TO

[normogaard]

This is a stupid inaccurate and dumb comparison water Coors and fan Coors if either one of them have an issue both of them have to be replaced we can't disreplace the fan on an air Cooler dummy but you can replace just a fan on a water cooler Since they just use regular case fans They both cost the same The water has always cool better than air so if you want your parts to last longer you use water because a cooler your PC parts are the longer they last
