it is far more affective then air cooling well with the refrensed hfs it is but it will allways outperform air cooling in every way and makes your pc look cool in the procces

It doesnt always outperform air cooling, i had a passive Tt Rocket water cooling system and it went to around 45, but under stress went to 55+. im bak on air cooling now and it stays around 43 and rises to 53/54. So in my case its the other way round, i do have a very well thought out/organised case/air flow though.

Water cooling is for a computer that has used most/all of its 5.25 bays with stuff, has a bunch of messy wiring, and in a small case. Fans would only help blow heat around in something like that. You would need a liquid cooled for a messy, full case.

If you had neat, not to over loaded case with spare room, you can design fans in specific areas and make it cold as a fridge.

water cooler is alot quieter than air cooling

of course a passive rad will under perform a forced air heat sink, put a fan on that rad and it will be way better than air.

Thats why i always recomend a BIY WC,in some cases a WC kit are underperforming.

I think you are misinformed, WC doesnt necessarilly uses 5.25 bay(for reservoir)you can use a T-line instead of reservoir, and a little bit of wire management will give you a better looking set-up.
