I’ve used both liquid and air cooling, and liquid cooling definitely helps if you’re running a high-performance setup or overclocking—it keeps temps nice and low. But the maintenance can be a bit of a hassle compared to air cooling. Some systems need a liquid top-up every once in a while, though it’s not something you’ll have to do super often. I’ve never had a leak, but it’s always a risk with liquid cooling, so going for quality parts helps.
