Air is better than water
It’s definitely easier, simpler and cheaper.
Water cooling can be quieter, though. Some big radiators and you can cool a gaming PC with hardly any airflow.
Yep, it’s the GPU fans that are the real noisy ones. I can tolerate a noctua CPU cooler but GPU’s are like jet engines under load.
Not necessarily, but one, it’s a lot cheaper, two, air leaks are not a problem.
the bigger the air leak the better the cooling 🗿
Remember kids, if you’re ever feeling useless, you’ll always be more useful than a 120mm AIO.
Technically, no, air is a much worse thermal conductor, and most liquids are significantly better. It’s a pretty efficient thermal INSULATOR, however.
The practical applications, however, make the movement of air OUT of your system an efficient cooling method.
Eeeehhh it’s about on par
Didn’t Linus tech tips do a video on this and find that water cooling doesn’t make much if any difference.

The only reason I have water cooling is that I bought my pc used and it came with water cooling. I’m too lazy to change it. At least the RGB lights on the motherboard were switched off with a simple toggle in the BIOS.
My GPU had a shitty blower cooler, switching to water-cooling made my system so much more quiet!
