Is an AIO water cooler really better than an air cooler?
Which is better for cooling: air cooling or water?
The cooler you use for your CPU can greatly impact your PC's performance, especially under demanding workloads. If you cheap out on it, you may encounter thermal throttling issues, which means you won't achieve the peak performance from your CPU. But that doesn't mean you have to overspend either. Many people, especially those new to PC building, have a tough time choosing between AIO liquid coolers and traditional air coolers. The flashy appearance and glowing RGB fans often push gamers toward AIO coolers, but how good are they really?
