Is water cooling better than fans?

According to Mark Gallina, liquid cooling more “efficiently distributes heat over more convection surface area (radiator) than pure conduction, allowing for reduced fan speeds (better acoustics) or higher total power.” In other words, it's more efficient, and often quieter.

Does core i9 need water cooling?
Intel recommends that you use a 240mm AIO cooler or greater (or air equivalent) for the Core i9-13900K. While we expect most enthusiasts will pair an i9 CPU with high-end air or liquid cooling, we'll also be testing with more basic air coolers to see what can be gained or lost with different levels of cooling.

Do i need water cooling for rtx 4090?
The all-new RTX 4090 FE cards are expected to be significantly more powerful than their 30 Series counterparts. And while their efficiency is also improved, these cards still pull up to 450W, which means they will benefit even more from water cooling.

Does 3090 ti need water cooling?
With its power consumption of 450W and higher, Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card can certainly benefit from liquid cooling. But unfortunately, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti adopts a new design with all memory chips on the front, which is why it needs all-new water blocks.
