Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of putting together a powerful rig for 4K gaming, and I'm wondering about cooling options. My plan involves using an AIO cooler mounted in the side panel and adding three intake fans on the bottom to help cool the GPU, plus two exhaust fans in the back. However, I'm not super experienced with water cooling. With summer approaching, I'm starting to worry about heat, especially since my Lian Li O11 Vision case is close to a window, meaning it could get extra warm from sunlight. Given my setup, do you think I should switch to full water cooling, or will my current configuration with the AIO and air cooling be sufficient?

You shouldn’t need to go full water cooling. A decent air cooler, like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit, should keep your CPU cool enough, even under load. It'll handle your setup pretty well!
So, you're saying the AIO cooler I have right now is good enough?
