Good blades and fan run about the same cooling as an AIO. You can read all the stats on tests out there.
Id still prefer an AIO as its smaller and quieter. Seems you are in the same boat.
Well, back in the days of fun, I have a custom water-cooling setup, my power hungry AMD Phenom II 1055T OC@4.2 plus RX480, with 3 rads, 4 or 5 hrs later, the managed to stay stable at 53°C with an 42°C ambient, never have an AIO or similar, but with all air, the CPU run hotter than the sun, and the RX480 was boiling
Hopefully this new setup will be cooler

The one thing that made me me say:"fuck it, I'm going air cooling!" was the fact that the pump died and I got no warning whatsoever until BF4 locked up and everything crashed. This was right in the middle of a game and I had no clue. I don't usually install the bloatware that comes with AIO's so that's on me but I hate taking that kind of risk regardless.
To Adios's point, you're right. I have a full tower so the Noctua barely fits, but I love the peace of mind and the knowledge that even if the fans fail, I have that little bit of cooling as the case fans can still circulate enough air to mitigate the risk of damage.

The noctua stuff work's great but damn it's big LoL .. my case is only 12"x13"x7"
I've watched every cooling video on you tube Fish...my heads gonna explode if I see gamerznexus,Jaystwocents or Linus again
Now I just need to take the Gunney's monitor so I can detect the claymores hahahhaha
HAHA
I hear you.
Ive been looking at a few 144htz monitors. There are a bunch that are freesync and gsync compatable now.
Yeah, the freesync are everywhere, and somekind compatible with gsync, but am gonna wait a couple weeks more before buying the monitor, for me is like 200dlls for a 144hz 1ms....
Considering that 650dlls on an entire new setup, in a moment the I don't need it hahahaha, I could just wait a little longer for the monitor hahahhaha

Ill probably get a 1080P. AOC makes one for $200. 25 inch.
If I want to game at 1440 or 2180 I can always use my TV
Well here's the story...Delidded my 8700k and relidded with liquid metal also installed a copper heatsink. It has a 120mm AIO on it
Result's zero change in cpu temp's (I would not recommend doing this, although straight forward it is nerve racking as hell especially when your old eye can't see very well)
I ran cinebench 2.0 before and after and I can't really even say I got a degree better LoL 80C before metal 79C after (that's OC'd to 4.60 MHz)
Did I do it wrong possibly?... too much TIM not enough TIM who know's… I might take it apart and redoit but I might not
On a side note I got my 1080ti sc2 hybrid today and it run's cool af...no performance gain over my 1080ti reference out of the box but we'll see what we can do with the lower temp's
