Costs the same as what air cooler ? Some air coolers are better than liquid coolers.

Watch Linus' video on the Noctua NH-D15. It even beats the H100 and gets close to the H110. They've even said before, just cause it's water doesn't mean it's better.

Though, custom water cooling is always the best option (even though it is potentially dangerous for your components and it's very expensive.)

What are you cooling? What kind of dollars are you using?

of course in some situations air cooling is the better option but the best aio is better than the best air cooler
