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 just did the math and it seems like the Antec NX500m case I have won't fit the Peerless Assassin (Phantom Spirit) I bought unless I put the fans in the reverse position, which would be a shame because it would hide the cheap aRGB infinity mirror fan I got for it ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐ŸŒˆ

NX500m MAX CPU cooler clearance โ‰ค 155mm

PS120/PA120 = 157mm height / 40mm default RAM clearance

RAM = 51mm Clearance

51-40mm = Must raise 120mm fan by 11cm from default position

New PA120 height = 167mm (which โ‰ฅ155mm NX500m max clearance)
