Quieter, less point's of failure, and in many cases taking up less space. I have compressed air for dust. In the consumer sphere and almost any enthusiast sphere, air cooling > > > water cooling

Don't use compressed air on your fans while they're plugged into the board! It generates current that feeds into your mobo. Usually nothing bad happens but there can be problems associated with it.

That "usually nothing bad happens" will have to do.

less point's a failure

Why is a "less point" a failure?

[-] Shepstr@feddit.uk 8 points 10 months ago

He means 'less points of failure'.

[-] BonfireOvDreams@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

I CAN'T SPELL it's less points of failure.

The only downside really is RAM slot clearance when you need a beefier air cooler.

Compressed air is magic. Just cleaned my case and it all looks brand new.

Definitely not quieter. I never regretted building my custom loop.
