Here’s the air cooling unit I upgraded to:
Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Cooling Unit: amzn.to/42H1NAR (affiliate links)

Yes, it’s better than the Noctua NHD15… However, I did decide to use Noctua fans because they are amazingly quiet. So, I have a couple of these mounted on mine:
Noctua NF-A12: amzn.to/4cU246P

Now, these are not all-around fans… not really static pressure fans, but they are working fine. I might upgrade to NF-F12 one day, if I feel the need: amzn.to/4jB5Ogc

However, the NF-A12 move plenty of air around. The key here is that I also have one mounted behind the cooling unit to act as an exhaust (out the back of the case). I’ll discuss this more in my upgrade video.

So, let’s talk about why I’m officially done with water cooling. My PC is slightly hotter. Running just fine…. and I’m happier than ever because it’s quiet and low-maintenance (unlike your significant other).

Yes, this happened because my previous aio stopped working… but I’ve been wanting to move back to air cooling for a while for several reasons: 1. Water cooling radiators, fans, tubes, and all that stuff take up a lot of space. I wasn’t able to fit an optical drive in my system and this is a serious deal. 2. I’ve had several water cooling units fail on my over the years. It’s usually the pump or something… sometimes they leak, etc. It’s just not worth the mess. 3. There’s little need for water cooling these days. CPUs are insanely powerful and yet, most are fine on air cooling units. I’m not talking about Threadrippers, but basically everything else is OK.
