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?

    I was a water-cooling main for ages because I believed the hype that it’s quieter. For my last PC I went air cooled with comically large fans(120mmx2 on the CPU and 360x2 case fans) and it’s quieter, especially in the long run. With water cooling, especially AIOs, the pump gets louder over time.
