Liquid cooling is safe. The liquid they use is non-conductive, so even if it leaks it won't hurt anything.
I run AIO on my rigs, 9900k and 14900k, works great. Much quieter than air.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

yea, but my pc case don't have much space for aio :/ I wanted to change only my GPU, but ended with mobo, cpu, gpu, cooling and power supply xD And I like design of my case xD
There is no cpu that needs an aio. I have a U12A on a 14900k runs great.
The U12A is awesome. Had it on my 13700k and kept temps nice and cool.
I was using a u12-a on a 14900k. Throttled out of the box at 5.7ghz.
Underclocked to 4.8ghz to keep temps at 80-85c under sustained load.
Put a Liquid Freezer ii AIO in last week and now I can push clock up to 5.3ghz and get the same 80-85c under sustained load.
Haven't tested fps in games or anything, but the added 500mhz feels nice :)
I switched from the NH-D15 to the same AIO. I regret not doing that from the beginning but lesson learned.
had a U12A on my 12900K for a while actually. thermals were fine but the fan noise can be a bit much at higher RPMs. that will come up in gaming unless you set a custom fan curve or power limit the proc. tried fan curve first and it gutted my R23 but ymmv. simple power limit of 250W was good for 90-95% of liquid-cooled performance in my limited testing.
