I've been hearing a lot about liquid cooling setups lately and how they can keep temperatures lower than traditional air cooling. But I'm curious, is it really worth the investment? For someone who mostly plays games and does some light video editing, would I see a noticeable difference? Also, any recommendations on reliable liquid cooling brands for a beginner?

For a beginner gaming PC, I usually choose a good tower air cooler unless you really want an AIOs appearance or use a particularly hot, high-end processor.
Also, liquid coolers has pump that can fail after years of use but theres some reliable product like what I use which is MSI - MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2 which I had for almost 4 years na
For air cooler naman mostly its main failure point is usually just its replaceable fan so its much cheaper and easier to fix.
