I have a 5700x and my aio pump stopped working while i was moving, so i need a new cooler, i alr have the fans and everything, so what should i replace it with, my thoughts are the

Or the

The second looks better and "probably" works better from looking at it

Well, they will both easily cool a 5700x but air cooler will be more reliable.

Looks is subjective, I like a big air cooler over an AIO in terms of looks.

 

If you like the AIO, get it

Personally I am a big proponent of air coolers, they are more reliable as Hinjima said, but they can also be quieter due to not needing to run a pump. That seems like a great deal for the aio at $40 so I wouldn't say either is a bad option but I would probably still do the air cooler.

 

P.S. this comes from someone who has done some rather out of the box water cooling and got sick of the constant maintenance concerns so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
