What PC Cooling Do You Use?

The 9 year old Corsair H100 AIO cooler that I am using is playing up. The pump is repeatedly getting airlocks. The cooler starts working again after rotating the radiator around the pump. I'm guessing the water in the AIO has probably evaporated. Looking for a way to refill it.

It's probably time for a new cooler anyway and am wondering whether I should go back to using an air cooler as they run forever. The difference in performance between an AIO and air did not seem to be huge.

What sort of cooling are you currently using?

    All of the above, and more, except for sub zero
    It really depends on the CPU/system

    Got a few passively cooled i3s doing some things.

    Stock cooler on another machine

    NH D15 on one, and just replaced a H150 Elite Capellix with an EK nucleus 360 on the 13900k. It’s true what they say about the Nucleus, btw. That thing has tamed the i9.

    It really just depends on the system.

  • A bucket of ice water personally works for quick cooling.
