Air Cooling! This was my very first PC, and I needed that reliability that would make it last for years ☺️ I paired a Deepcool Assassin 4S on my 7800x3d, and for a CPU that is supposed to run hot, I've never seen go above the 70°C on fairly heavy loads. Most of the time, we're speaking in the 60s here, barely above my GPU temps
He can! Or should I say, I can! That said, there’s probably 5 videos on the channel now with me talking. I don’t like to make a habit of it, but when the right video calls for knowledge and all… 🫦
I just have to get this out there. Some of the systems you showed in this video are... pure works of art. I mean HOLY SHIT. I literally WOWed several times in this video. They aren`t custom loop or themed, but god damn are those some pure sexy looking OE PC`s. Hats off. The videomaking was also top notch.
The first Luiquid AIO I bought had a pump failure. After that I bought the Luiquid AIO again and after 3 months it leaked (luckily nothing burned). After all that, I switched to air cooling, which amazed me how well it cools my CPU. So I'm in the team Air Cooling. Btw Matt, great video!
AIOs are cheap watercooling options. They are made cheap and affordable, easy to install, but the components will be also lesser quality and more prone to failure. Custom loop is a whole different level, but it requires more technical skills and a lot more money. Air cooling is good enough for now, can't speak for furure though.
@@Hullbreachdetected with cpu elements getting smaller, so its their power consumption/heat generation. or to be exact, while they remains size and power consumption, their performance is gained (at least in theory). but sure , with 10-12 core+ (overclocked) monster working under full load (rendering etc) you can expect heat too.
Man, that's very unlucky. I was using aircooler before because they're cheaper. Now with AIO, it's still going strong after a year no prob. Prior to using AIO, I made sure I have the necessary knowledge like keeping pump speed constant, rad position, and pump orientation.
Let's state the obvious first: This is really good information explained in a simply and effective way, really nice. But HOLY, those shots, those builds, that sound... Production here is simply flawless, to such an extent that's really, really uncommon to see in UA-cam, even on film/photo channels. Congrats on the quality, you deserve every last one of those almost 200k subscribers and many more.
between 2010-2013 i changed 3 AIO , in the end i bought am NH-D15 and is the one im still using today with very good temps , it passed 4490k , 3600x , 5600x , and now 5800x3d , i know those are not the most demnanding cpus but the point is that it carried over 4 upgrades over 10 years and still going strong.
Team air cooling here ! I don't want to deal with leak or pump mal function inside my setup. Also, I prefer the look of a beautiful air cooler like the NH U12A Chromax
I went back to air cooling earlier this year when I did a case swap, and I put in a Thermalright phantom spirit Evo. My temperatures are relatively the same, and I definitely like the easy installation and reliability of air cooling.
hey, I'm using air cooler also and I have a question to you. as explained in 6:36 do you have a fan before your air cooler or not? do you think is it effecting the cpu temperature?
@@mehmetilkerbuldu8497My case is a Fractal Design North, and I have two 120 fans at the top. I would say 90% of my top fans sit over and behind the air cooler, and I don't think it impacts anything. I put in a 9800x3d, and it basically doesn't go past 55° C.
I just bought an oled monitor and duuuude! Your black theme is absolutely stunning! Not saying before purchase it was not :) This is not an content creation, this is art. Keep going!
I upgraded my pc recently from i7 3770k to R9 9750x. When I brought my old pc to upgrade, I decided to have liquid cooling for my as it has been my dream since 2013 but vendor suggested me to go for air cooling. He said that all workstations with R9 he has sold were equipped with air coolers and in commercial workspaces, people always choose air cooling over AIO. With heavy heart I went with Deepcool AK620 as per his suggestion and that cooler looked damn cool on my old Coolermaster Haf 912 cabinet with its industrial / tank like look. 4 months down, I am way more happy.
Tenho o AK620 Digital, um show a parte, saí de um LT520, Kraken x63, vou me manter no air cooler, estou visando o Assassin IV, quero pegar para testes.
Wow, this video is a masterpiece! Not only is the hardware on point, but your sense of style and presentation takes it to a whole new level. The way you blend cutting-edge tech with fashionable aesthetics is exactly what the PC building scene needs right now. You're setting trends, not just assembling rigs. Keep up this phenomenal work-you're redefining the game! Just a tiny suggestion: The live acting segments feel a bit faster-paced compared to the B-roll. Slowing them down slightly could enhance the cinematic feel and make everything flow more consistently. Keep up the amazing work
Hello. I for one do appreciate you for sharing your knowledge without all the hype that usually comes with videos from other channels. No really, finally someone just speaking about the topic in a normal with without adding so many hooks and intonation on steroids. Thank you for the sane.
I am team custom watercooling for my CPU. Sure, it's really expensive, but i love the style, the low noise and the performance! And with a "fish-tank-case" CPU and GPU are getting fresh air for cooling. And with soft tubes, the maintenance is pretty similar to an AIO.
I've always been an AIO and Intel guy for my past 3 builds. But after the 9800x3d launch, with such low tdp, I've decided to slowly make purchases catered towards it. Started off by purchasing DeepCool's Assassin IV VC Vision, which should arrive by Friday. Still waiting for the 9800x3d to be back in stock, also ASRock's x870e Nova Wifi mb. Great video nonetheless!
Ohhhh the Assassin VC! That vapour chamber is very unique. I wanted to touch base on that in this video, but air coolers with a VC are not easy to come by (or largely known about) so perhaps I’ll make a specific video on those later. Either way, sounds like a great build which I’m sure you’re gonna love!
Very cool video. Well explained, as most people won’t realise rad area is king. More than rad thickness. Main difference for me, about AIOs is noise. At full blast, all should be good enough. But to perform efficiently without excessive pump noise or fan noise, that’s the magic. Corsair for example, high pitch pumps, loud fans. Db alone won’t show the full picture.
even in most gaming your fans are not going high enough for that to matter, and the worse-case of stress testing, its important to know which cooler will handle that, because then it handles the rest.
An excellent informative video as always. Video quality is top notch! TY! Also, that M1911A1 looks quite real, but no, it's an airgun as i noticed from the end of that "clip". What a pity. It went well with the set.
I lean more toward custom water cooling myself. Never understood going liquid and just watercooling the cpu. Also was never a fan of how AIO cooler tubes just hang. Not all but generally. Rather do hard tubing bends. However with custom comes extra cost. The price of GPU waterblocks alone these days are nuts especially if u are going EK with a Nvidia card. And with how better cpus have been getting over the past decade in regards to out the box clocks and turbos, the average user REALLY doesn't need to OC a chip unless its for bragging rights imo. I highly agree going air is way more maintnance friendly. Its on the user though. Its their rig. Thanks for vid!
Absolutely flawless as usual mate, really enjoyed that!! The What Blows my Mind that you only have 197k subs, along with that now everyone are throwing their smoke Machine on their builds 🤦♂

As always, beautifully done. Your dedication and passion as an artisan is inspiring. I humbly request that you continue to produce content that empowers your audience to be informed and competent consumers. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Team Air Cooling! I wanted to try an AIO for some time, but when building my "next gen" PC after 15 years of my last build, I found a white Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 ARGB when building my first all-white-PC and fell instantly in love... This thing looks soooo damn good on my NZXT H5 Flow (2022)! That thing keeps all of them temps in check! I'm supper happy with how it turned out and getting an AIO hasn't crossed my mind since then :P I'll come to see if it will manage to cool the CPU once we hit Summer, then maybe I'll consider an AIO hehe
When I got a new custom built R9 7900X3D based system from my local computer shop, I got a Air Cooler for the CPU. I had asked about a AIO but was advised against it, for a few reasons one being if the pump fails then its back to the shop to get the whole AIO replaced. And so far the air cooler is handling my system very well.
Glad to hear you talk....LOL Thanks for a very simple but instructional video for those who are seeking for CPU cooling.....my favorite will allways be the KING, Noctua in all sizes but specialy the NH-D15 G2
@@daniil3815 same here, both cpu and gpu average at 60 celcius during gaming under full load...but my cpu has spikes at random to 70/73 celcius when uncapped framerate..but thats why i cap all games...same noise as idle while gaming...just silent
So so so helpful, ive been trying to find this sort of video for ages, then boom! Mr Matt Lee comes in clutch again! Im going to be building my first PC soon, im an illustrator so photoshop is a priority so im going 9700x (was going to be 14700k but AMD has sunk that ship). Using a Dan A3 wood edition and Proart 4070S, i think im going with the NhD15 g2... Apparently it fits! Itll be overkill for the cpu but itll be reliable and quiet so fingers crossed it all goes well!
Well that sounds like a pretty awesome build if you ask me! Very excited for you. Also, stoked that the video hit the spot for information you needed, that’s great to hear! Enjoy your PC DIY adventures, take your time and indulge in the process ☕️
I've long thought that an AIO was pretty necessary for high performing PCs. On my most recent PC, I decided to give a good Air cooler a shot. 13700KF/4070Ti w/ a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE. 2 fans in push-pull on the ac. I've been very impressed by how well it can cool that miniature space heater (13700K). I really only game on my PC, so it's more than enough for that. In a sustained 250W pull, it will throttle just a hair, but once the fans have ramped up, it will maintain very well. The price/performance of TR's products are unbeatable I believe.
My rig started out with a Corsair H60 that eventually broke after rough transport of my rig. So I slapped in a NH-D15 and love everything about it. Beefy, no-nonsense cooler. I'm only interested in liquid cooling that doesn't involve fans.
🙌 I wish I could upload more than once a week (on a Monday) but they take an entire week to film and produce so it’s just not possible 😭 either way, I’m glad you’re here for every video!
Absolutely loved this video Matt! Relaxing as fuck, as usual, but I loved the knowledge delivery here as well. Most of it I already knew but your videos are always such a joy to watch so I enjoyed hearing it nonetheless.
This comment is wholesome! Thanks so much. Appreciate you being here for the support and I’m stoked you enjoyed watching it, aside from the knowledge you already had. That’s awesome 🤜🤛
I bought my first AIO (a 240mm from ID Cooling) a little over a year ago and the price, performance and installation was all lightyears ahead of my last attempt at water cooling, a short-lived custom loop back in the LGA 775 days. Still, I missed the simplicity and reliablity of an air cooler, so when I switched out of the A4-H2O I went with the Peerless Assassin 120 Mini. Pretty capable little guy.
Currently use a Deepcool Ls720 360 all in one and had an NZXT 240 aio before that. Haven't had any type of failure or bad performance. Both have been superb.
I think one thing to consider with AIO leakage is that *if you don't abuse the tubing connections they probably won't leak*. This applies to pretty much anything that has tubing or cables. Don't put tension on cables at right angles, don't do it with pipes either, you'll probably be fine.
I greatly prefer air, but on my most recent build it made more sense to go AIO, so I bought a Thermalright Frozen Notte 240. My Ryzen 5700x3D never clears 60C under full load, and the fans never have to spool up to keep up. That computer stays quieter than the background noise of the house at full speed because of my airflow/AIO optimisation I went for when building it, and I love it.
Thanks dude. Always good to understand a little better. I love the convenience of air but I also like high performance chips which kinda bind me to liquid. I think the next one I build will be a sleeper. No windows. No RGB. Just a good performance machine that looks like a simple PC. Have you ever done a true sleeper? Like built a modern component PC inside and old 2000's shell or earlier PC Case?
I'm looking for a case like that, not old looking but you know no windows and functional case with space for big components, I'm thinking of the BeQuiet Silent Base 802, comes in a solid side panel version
This is a great topic to cover as it seems to me it is one of the more 'complicated' parts of PC building. I personally go with air cooling just about every time because I have had horrendous luck with Liquid Cooling. Had two different liquid cooling systems malfunction on me multiple times. Weird stuff like tubes getting clogged or just completely dying.
It’s an interesting topic because the basics aren’t often discussed. Hopefully this video changes that and reignites some of the questions many may have! 😄 sorry to hear about your bad luck with AIO’s too!
I've been using air coolers all my life, for many many years, but this year i bought and upgraded from nhd15 to Icerberg Thermal IceFLOE OASIS 360mm AIO and honestly, im never looking back at air coolers. The performance for my 5950x is soo much better with my AIO, basically ~10c drop from the cpu and actually ~7c drop from the gpu because of my AIO top, exhaust orientation, which surprised me the most.
I prefer Air cooling. If a fan fails the cooler still cools. In water cooling the pump failing means you are without any cooling until it is replaced. Reliability is far more important to me than a few extra degrees of cooling.
Air cooled internally with some extra fans and directional baffles to better direct cool/warm air flow. I occasionally use a room fan to direct cool air to the intakes and to cool the case/blow the hot air away.
I went Team Project Zero this year and settled on Lian Li with their Hydroshift AIO. It looks and performs beyond my expectations plus it fits the near cableless design of my MSI tower.
Thank you double 0 Matt. You hit the target on this video. Very well explained. I have noticed how much you use Asus and Noctua products. I love both brands but especially with Asus's TUF series. I like air cooling over AIO's but that was the best explanation of AIO positioning.
I’m glad you took the time to absorb the radiator AIO positioning too. It’s one of the more important parts and shouldn’t be misconstrued by other, less direct information 🙂
@@Mr_Matt_Lee I am more team air cooling, especially Noctua rather than team AIO. I did purchase the Corsair H100 for my Z97 white Sabranco TUF motherboard of which I wanted to keep that mobo pristine due to it being a limited edition but like an idiot as I was installing the H100 it came crashing down onto the intel pins. So ended my days of the H100 and so the death of my Sabertooth
I rep both Team Air and Team Liquid. I use a Deep Cool LS520 AIO top mounted on my current gaming PC. It's got a Core i5 12600k cpu, 32 gigs of ram, and a RTX 4070. I use a Deep Cool AS500 Plus air tower cooler on my second PC. It's got a Ryzen 7 5800X cpu, 32 gigs of ram, and a RTX 3070. Both coolers do and excellent job at keeping the temps down. The aio did take more time to install. Besides that both are good options. It comes down to preference. Performance or aesthetics. I like a little of both in my builds, both of which are white builds with RGB.
Are you team Air Cooling, or Liquid AIO? What’s your current CPU cooler? 👀
I’m rocking an Arctic Liquid Freezer iii, 420 ARGB. Arctic kicks ass.
Well ... NEITHER 😅
I'm team custom water cooling. Currently I'm using the aquacomputer cuplex kryos NEXT nickel plated as CPU cooler.

I have probably gone through like 5-6 different AIOs and buikt three custom loops with acrylic and metal tubing. Never once had leak in any system.
They don't "leak". and the pump, if it isnt defective will last 6+ years. Chose air for proper reasons man, thinking AiOs leak is not one.
I'd say the chance of AIO failure or leakage is just as the same as tower cooler fan malfunction - you gotta be (un)lucky for it to happen to you

When I got a new custom built R9 7900X3D based system from my local computer shop, I got a Air Cooler for the CPU. I had asked about a AIO but was advised against it, for a few reasons one being if the pump fails then its back to the shop to get the whole AIO replaced.
And so far the air cooler is handling my system very well.
custom 😉
Love your videos and production that you put into them. Keep up the good work!
all of your videos feel like watching a movie
great editing skills and direction
i hope to see more and more content sir
Glad to hear you talk....LOL Thanks for a very simple but instructional video for those who are seeking for CPU cooling.....my favorite will allways be the KING, Noctua in all sizes but specialy the NH-D15 G2
First video I see in this channel and already subbed. Where'd you get those slick wallpapers? They look clean af.
Im glad you made a video on this Matt,
Air cooler works, but I never go back after using 360mm AIO. It is just satisfying to see my CPU and GPU at almost same temperature.
You managed to find the perfect CPU and GPU thermal balance, awesome! Its less common to do that than you think 👌
Hmm. My cpu and gpu are almost always the same temperature while gaming and I use air cooler. I don’t think it should be a decisive factor.
@@daniil3815 same here, both cpu and gpu average at 60 celcius during gaming under full load...but my cpu has spikes at random to 70/73 celcius when uncapped framerate..but thats why i cap all games...same noise as idle while gaming...just silent

That was an utterly fantastic video, Mr. Lee!
Thanks so much 🤜🤛
Damn these cinematic shots ❤
Air cooler team. I have been using Deepcool AK620 DIGITAL WH for 6 months without any problem in my 14700K system.
So so so helpful, ive been trying to find this sort of video for ages, then boom! Mr Matt Lee comes in clutch again!
Im going to be building my first PC soon, im an illustrator so photoshop is a priority so im going 9700x (was going to be 14700k but AMD has sunk that ship).
Using a Dan A3 wood edition and Proart 4070S, i think im going with the NhD15 g2... Apparently it fits! Itll be overkill for the cpu but itll be reliable and quiet so fingers crossed it all goes well!
Well that sounds like a pretty awesome build if you ask me! Very excited for you. Also, stoked that the video hit the spot for information you needed, that’s great to hear! Enjoy your PC DIY adventures, take your time and indulge in the process ☕️
...thank you for an excellent source of knowledge...all the best...
i feel like i should be paying to watch this content. Cinematic masterpiece
I've long thought that an AIO was pretty necessary for high performing PCs. On my most recent PC, I decided to give a good Air cooler a shot. 13700KF/4070Ti w/ a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE. 2 fans in push-pull on the ac. I've been very impressed by how well it can cool that miniature space heater (13700K). I really only game on my PC, so it's more than enough for that. In a sustained 250W pull, it will throttle just a hair, but once the fans have ramped up, it will maintain very well. The price/performance of TR's products are unbeatable I believe.
Superbly useful video. Thanks for this.
B e a utiful PCs showcased here! Your commentary and vizzes are excellent and make things really clear. Thank you
Great video again Matt. Your music is for me also great! Enjoy your day and your coffee
Thank you 🙂 The music plays a huge role in the videos as you probably know. It’s always reassuring to know you guys enjoy it too! 🙌
Lovely guide for beginners!
Thank you!
My rig started out with a Corsair H60 that eventually broke after rough transport of my rig. So I slapped in a NH-D15 and love everything about it. Beefy, no-nonsense cooler. I'm only interested in liquid cooling that doesn't involve fans.
Awesome Information Bro! Keep it going and Keep it Classy Always!👌☕
Great Video with stellar editing!
i love your videos! been waiting for an upload almost everyday
🙌 I wish I could upload more than once a week (on a Monday) but they take an entire week to film and produce so it’s just not possible 😭 either way, I’m glad you’re here for every video!
Epic work on the video 🔥🔥🔥
Very informative Matt...thanks👌
Absolutely loved this video Matt! Relaxing as fuck, as usual, but I loved the knowledge delivery here as well. Most of it I already knew but your videos are always such a joy to watch so I enjoyed hearing it nonetheless.
This comment is wholesome! Thanks so much. Appreciate you being here for the support and I’m stoked you enjoyed watching it, aside from the knowledge you already had.
That’s awesome 🤜🤛
The skateboard camera thing was really cool
I bought my first AIO (a 240mm from ID Cooling) a little over a year ago and the price, performance and installation was all lightyears ahead of my last attempt at water cooling, a short-lived custom loop back in the LGA 775 days. Still, I missed the simplicity and reliablity of an air cooler, so when I switched out of the A4-H2O I went with the Peerless Assassin 120 Mini. Pretty capable little guy.
Currently use a Deepcool Ls720 360 all in one and had an NZXT 240 aio before that. Haven't had any type of failure or bad performance. Both have been superb.
Loving your images and pacing. Did you use the Loawa 24mm? Well done!
The Loawa 24mm has been used a few times for sure! Well spotted 🫦
I think one thing to consider with AIO leakage is that *if you don't abuse the tubing connections they probably won't leak*. This applies to pretty much anything that has tubing or cables. Don't put tension on cables at right angles, don't do it with pipes either, you'll probably be fine.
I greatly prefer air, but on my most recent build it made more sense to go AIO, so I bought a Thermalright Frozen Notte 240.
My Ryzen 5700x3D never clears 60C under full load, and the fans never have to spool up to keep up.
That computer stays quieter than the background noise of the house at full speed because of my airflow/AIO optimisation I went for when building it, and I love it.
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB. In a CM MasterCase H500 with two 200mm intake fans. Incredible air cooling.
I love your Videos Matt !
Great Work Again
Thank you 🤓 Have an awesome Monday!
Excellent said, excellent explained 👌🏻👏🏻💚
Thanks dude. Always good to understand a little better. I love the convenience of air but I also like high performance chips which kinda bind me to liquid. I think the next one I build will be a sleeper. No windows. No RGB. Just a good performance machine that looks like a simple PC. Have you ever done a true sleeper? Like built a modern component PC inside and old 2000's shell or earlier PC Case?
I'm looking for a case like that, not old looking but you know no windows and functional case with space for big components, I'm thinking of the BeQuiet Silent Base 802, comes in a solid side panel version
Would be so good if you did an in depth pc build explaining everything!
Fantastic information !
This is a great topic to cover as it seems to me it is one of the more 'complicated' parts of PC building.
I personally go with air cooling just about every time because I have had horrendous luck with Liquid Cooling. Had two different liquid cooling systems malfunction on me multiple times. Weird stuff like tubes getting clogged or just completely dying.
It’s an interesting topic because the basics aren’t often discussed. Hopefully this video changes that and reignites some of the questions many may have! 😄 sorry to hear about your bad luck with AIO’s too!
I've been using air coolers all my life, for many many years, but this year i bought and upgraded from nhd15 to Icerberg Thermal IceFLOE OASIS 360mm AIO and honestly, im never looking back at air coolers. The performance for my 5950x is soo much better with my AIO, basically ~10c drop from the cpu and actually ~7c drop from the gpu because of my AIO top, exhaust orientation, which surprised me the most.
Hi Mr Matt Lee. Amazing video as always...and what is your team? Air or Liquid?
Loved the ending
I prefer Air cooling. If a fan fails the cooler still cools. In water cooling the pump failing means you are without any cooling until it is replaced. Reliability is far more important to me than a few extra degrees of cooling.
In most cases, for reliability the KISS rule is always better....
Thanks for the video , i got the asus tuf gt502 case and id like to steal some ideas out of your builds , id appreciate more builds using this case !
Air cooled internally with some extra fans and directional baffles to better direct cool/warm air flow. I occasionally use a room fan to direct cool air to the intakes and to cool the case/blow the hot air away.
I went Team Project Zero this year and settled on Lian Li with their Hydroshift AIO. It looks and performs beyond my expectations plus it fits the near cableless design of my MSI tower.
Thank you double 0 Matt. You hit the target on this video. Very well explained. I have noticed how much you use Asus and Noctua products. I love both brands but especially with Asus's TUF series. I like air cooling over AIO's but that was the best explanation of AIO positioning.
I’m glad you took the time to absorb the radiator AIO positioning too. It’s one of the more important parts and shouldn’t be misconstrued by other, less direct information 🙂
@@Mr_Matt_Lee I am more team air cooling, especially Noctua rather than team AIO. I did purchase the Corsair H100 for my Z97 white Sabranco TUF motherboard of which I wanted to keep that mobo pristine due to it being a limited edition but like an idiot as I was installing the H100 it came crashing down onto the intel pins. So ended my days of the H100 and so the death of my Sabertooth
💥💥nice video!
Quality Content at its peak ❤❤❤
I always wanted to try AIO but I'll always go for air. I like the looks, simplicity and price.
I rep both Team Air and Team Liquid.
I use a Deep Cool LS520 AIO top mounted on my current gaming PC. It's got a Core i5 12600k cpu, 32 gigs of ram, and a RTX 4070.
I use a Deep Cool AS500 Plus air tower cooler on my second PC. It's got a Ryzen 7 5800X cpu, 32 gigs of ram, and a RTX 3070.
Both coolers do and excellent job at keeping the temps down. The aio did take more time to install. Besides that both are good options. It comes down to preference. Performance or aesthetics. I like a little of both in my builds, both of which are white builds with RGB.
