China has made AIO air coolers cheaper and more reliable. They are ๐Ÿ˜ 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?

scared ^___^

I have a water cooler (Corsair 280 mm) for my cpu and an air-cooled gpu (1060 mini 6gb). The aio is safe but in hindsight not worth it. The gpu produces more heat and runs cooler. And it's a mini form factor. a big ass air-cooler for the cpu was probably a better choice.
