Well I own a regular Noctua NH-D15 and performs great with my i7-9800X! Temps never go above 75 C and worked just as good with my 4790k before I retired that system. I can't speak on the behalf of AIOs as I never had one and always feared AIO coolers (water cooling in general) due to failures/leaks and destroying expensive components in the process.

Yeah Noctua makes great products, especially their case fans are high quality.

I had the original h100 and it was actually really good. I used it for 5 years before I retired it. I did not use the stock fans though.. I used 120x38s. Well, it was really good for about a year, after that it was down hill. I am tempted to open it up to see what’s inside. It was good enough for my highly clocked x5690, I don’t think many modern cpus can match its heat output 😄

I have a D15S, it works the same as a D15 but is offset to more easily clear a GPU, and only comes with 1 fan, my Define C isn't large enough to fit an NF-A15 fan on the front of the cooler anyway.

The D-15 performs as well as a 280mm AIO, but no worrying about leaks,or the pump failing, and no pump noise.

Noctua makes great coolers, the instructions were nice, and Noctua includes a tube of thermal paste.

I too prefer air myself. I think almost every manufacturer includes paste, so pretty safe there 👍🏻
