Liquid-cooled computers have one major benefit; usually, your computer ages over time, and there's a long period where it's still barely fast enough but you wish you had something nicer. A liquid-cooled workstation prevents you from needing to manage this grey area by catastrophically failing at unexpected intervals. | ||||||||

Also prevents you from messing with it too much, as any substantial change requires draining and refilling your loop. | ||||||||

Had me in the first half. I looked at using an AIO for my PC build but ultimately went with an air cooler the size of a damned rubix cube and a high airflow case. My room gets toasty with raytracing titles, lol | ||||||||

I got an Aigo AIO (AC SE 240) off of AliExpress and use it as an automated reminder that my system needs an upgrade: once it stops working (with an upper bound of maybe 4-5 years), I'll know that it's time! Didn't even need to pay extra for that feature! | ||||||||
