It's all fun and games until you want a beefy setup in an ITX form factor.
Like i give a fuck what cools best. I want my system to look awesome and the AIO sure looks better imo. At the end of the day: build the PC that makes you happy.
Unless you need extra gpu cooling. Which I don't so I'm a hurricane boy weeeeeeeeeeee
I've got an FX era noctua still going strong on a 5900x. They even shipped me the adapter kit for free.
The only reason I have water cooling is that I bought my pc used and it came with water cooling. I'm too lazy to change it. At least the RGB lights on the motherboard were switched off with a simple toggle in the BIOS.
Water cooling feels unnecessary and expensive. Like most of my hobbies. I don't get this particular one, but I can appreciate why people might.
