Do you?


When building a PC. do you fall for the watercooling/liquidcooling meme? I personally find it corny, both in their performance (which always seemed more like placebo) and aesthetics.

Air cooling is always where its at

water cooling is just for looks, no? You can overclock with the stock fan. You can overclock even more with an aftermarket fan. Theres not a functional need for water cooling

I always get an AIO cooler mainly just for asthestics.
It's a cleaner look than a big ugly air cooler.

I know this is mostly off-topic but I got a little tabletop water-cooling air conditioning fan thing and not only did it not cool as advertised but it also stopped working completely after a short while.

Those are touch and go. Iirc they only work in very specific situations/types of heat

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

In general, a fan works better.

Watercooling can be quieter and cooler. It's not essential, but it has a place especially if you really like to overclock. They can also be easier to deal with if you have a PC case that has support for radiators. You don't have to worry about your RAM being able to clear a large air cooler, for example.
