The only part thats going to fail on an air cooler is the fan which can also fail on the AIOs.

Unless you are going for looks or have a need for a small profile cooler on top of the cpu in a htpc/mini pc build, air coolers all day.

The test results on this little guy https://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Rev-CPU.../dp/B06ZYB8K77 are ridiculous for the price.
I’ve never used a water cooler. Earlier this year when I was going to do a build (glad I waited) the cooler you link here was the one I was going to use. The build I ordered this week has a water cooler so I’ll be finding out what that’s like for the first time.
