Without touching what I think he should do, I will address what I would do if I was in your place.

 

I would let him have his reasons without being a dick about it. It's not worth the friction. If he doesn't want to risk an AIO, so be it. There are plenty of good air coolers that will keep him cool. It's his system and his choice, not yours.

This is the best response thus far.  All I did was say either AIR or or AIO on the CPU would cool just fine.  Dealers choice.  He's the one that provided misinformation that failure rate on AIO is XYZ, ABC, 123 I don't want to deal with it.  I'm like, bruh, you came to me for help.  I told you what I think.  I support either decision.  But, if your decision is made of of incorrect information then what?

It's just a computer to play games on.  Doesn't matter.  Air or AIO he's good.
