Switched to air cooling after my liquid rig started sweating more than I do during tax season (which is saying something). Honestly, I thought I was being fancy with all those tubes and RGB, but it turns out I was just building a tiny, personal environmental hazard. Now my PC hums along quietly, and I get to feel vaguely virtuous about reducing e-waste and power draw. It's a win-win, unless you count the loss of my ill-advised coolant fountain feature. Makes me wonder what other 'upgrades' in my life are just overcomplicated nonsense.
