I have been thinking about the pro's and cons about air vs. Aio vs. Custom water cooling vs. Face cooling. I don't think I will take dry ice or ln2 in this thread as that is extreme cooling and not very usable for every day use.
So to simply sum it up. This thread is to discuss what cooling you have and why you choose that.
I Will off cause start out.
I use aircooled and have all ways used it. I use it do to price that's cheaper than custom loops and a big aircooler is just as good as a reasonable aio, less maintenance over customs water cooling and less things to go wrong means more reliable. Also because even throw custom water give greater headroom for overclock, with big ass air coolers like the noctua nh-d15 chromax.black i use, I have not been disappointed with the overclock results I got from it. Rather surprised by how far I could take my Ryzen 9 5950X (manuel all core oc to 4.65 ghz on all 16 cores and actually beating out several aio and custom loops) or for that matter the i7 980x (oc to 4.75 ghz all core at its best) I had before. Another reason I chose Air cooling for my current system was to be different. All the dual systems out there I cut find on the internet or on YouTube. Where all ways stuffed with custom water loops. So I wanted to do it differently with air cooling in stead.
Con's for aircooling is that it is more noisy than a oversized custom loop that can run either passive or fans at very low rpm even with a power hungry cpu and gpu in the loop. Not all like to have a big aluminum block in the pc case and I will admit that a custom loop can look seriously nice in a pc and better than a big aircooler at times. But it doesn't bother me throw. Another downside of aircooling specially for us that use big dual tower coolers, can be limited to what memory we can use do to heatsink high on memory.
So my cooling setup is as followed in my dual system.
For my atx machine I use noctua nh-d15 chromax.black with thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme and swapped stock fans out with 1 120 mm and 1 140 mm noctua industrial 3000 RPM fan. 120 mm is do to ram modules high on my 5950X cpu.
Gpu is stock cooler on my rtx 3080.
For the mini-itx system I use a Noctua nh-l9x65 se-am4 low profile cooler again with thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme paste and the stock fan swapped out with a ditto in there chromax.black line out on my 5600X cpu.
Gpu is a gtx 1650 with a stock low profile cooler.
This is how it looks
