Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?

AIO don’t have a leaking issue but overlocking isn’t really a things anymore so I view it as a waste of money imo. I do agree that it looks cleaner but all my pc builds are not displayed so outside of performance, it does not matter to me with how it looks.

Boost clocks depend on thermal headroom. Better cooling will get you better performance still, even if you aren’t manually over clocking.

  A good air cooler, which is cheap, gives you all the headroom you need.

    I don’t disagree. But cooling performance does impact CPU performance in some cases even without “overclocking”
    
    And in very hot running chips, it can start to matter.
