Hey y’all. Recently got a 12900k and was just wondering how important it is to upgrade my AIO to something bigger. Just trying to avoid “cooking it” overnight.

no. even 240mm aios and some 280mm aios trade blows or are at least very close to good air coolers, AIOs start to become worth it at 360/420mm and at 280 it mostly comes down to preference but a good aio is gonna beat the best air cooler so its the better pick if its not a blind buy
