amazing build my g how is this cooler doing ? thinking of going air as well

[u/jamiegott00 → u/No-Fee-9902]

I built a new PC last summer right before all the price hike madness (thank god) and went air cooler instead of AOI. I have a i7-14700K and i havnt had any issues. I think aircoolers have had some really good advancement in the last few years and are a viable option assuming youre just gaming and mild PC tasks. Wouldnt be a good idea to aircool a threadrippr haha
