As for an AIO I'm fine as long as the missus doesn't turn the thermostat up too high

I did full custom loop once and the water blocks were made of pure silver and hand made in Oz. I foolishly threw them out last year.
Done AIO and it's a okaaay.
Tried the Noctua NH-12 on the i7-920 back in 2009 and now it's Noctua all the way on air since. Noctua even just sent me free upgrade mounting kits for the AM4 sockets even though I bought the coolers 11 years ago.
That said I did just go for their industrial fan (NF-A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWM ) as an exhaust on the 3900x due to crap case airflow and heat soak without it. £20 was better than the cost of a new case however but it is noticeably nosier if the ambient goes up too much.

Symptoms: 2990wx experiencing thermal throttling. When I went to apply fresh paste, I noted that radiator was rather cool but pump head was very hot. Failed pump??
