Currently cooling my CPU with an AIO, GPU is on default air cooler. Had everything custom water cooled but opted for the simpler AIO setup. Temps are as good on the CPU, and the GPU does run a bit warmer but well under anything concerning anyways. Just not worth the extra cost. Sold most of it to recover the money and that's it.

I built a full Alphacool loop for my 2070S but waterblocks on GPUs are a pain in the ass and I have access to hardware from work so I've had a 3060Ti, 2080Ti, 3070, 3090, Quadro RTX 6000, 4060Ti, 4070, and 6800XT in there since.
I have an universal block on my 6700 XT :)

Half of those cards I'm borrowing or testing though. Of the list for that PC, I've only purchased the 2070S, 3060Ti, and 6800XT for myself and I'm changing hardware in it too often to keep break/fixing the loop.

I've not tried universal blocks, do they cool the VRMs?

I have EK VGA-Supremacy on my card. Used Phobya thermal glue to put cooling to the VRM/VRAM.

Air. When I was young and foolish enough (fight me!) to be interested in water cooling I didn't have the money for it, now that I do I'm mature enough (fight me!) to understand that the Best Computer is a Computer I Don't Have To Tinker With For Years. With water that is a tall order, with air it's the norm.

Full custom loop for years, and now back to air cooling. Cba with the loop no more, plus £700ish on the loop for what? better looks and a few less degrees temp, certainly not worth it.

Lol, I thought I was the only one that sticky noted HDDs like that so I moved on to making my own duty labels.
I don't know what flavor of tism this is but it is way easier with a back face sticker writing in the 開 date, 25K, 50K, 75K, Noise, Dead.
Fans get a similar treatment too.

Air on the Sapphire Nitro+ RX6800 OC because it's a decent cooler and is fairly quiet even at high fan speeds

Lets face it, we all build for each other.. we are all enthusiasts, we are mostly friendly with each other, we show our stuff off to each other, and sometimes we do some drag racing.. and we all hang out here. That makes us all buds. I know I like to show my pc off when I can. It isn't the newest, and its not the best.. but I made it :)

Well, I've been told that I am cold, frigid SOB, so at the start of each day, I just blow on my cpu & gpu for a few seconds, and they freeze over quickly, so all is well until the next morning, hehehe :) /s

Seriously though, my workstation has custom loops on everything, built by the IT guys, but my mini-me box at home has a small fan/heatsink combo, and it runs fine all day long....

Pretty simple. LF 2 II 420 AIO on 7950X and the normal heatsink for my RTX 4090 GB Gaming OC.

Some older photos but it is crazy how that card and push-pull AIO make the full-size Fractal Torrent look small and cramped!

I have done some updates but it's really just fan controlling the beast.

Yeah the GPU support bracket that came with Torrent Compact is no where near long enough to fit a 4080. Mine is just a wooden dowel cut to size and sitting on the case bottom. Good thing I'm not into the whole see-through side panel stuff.

Cooling is air; recently swapped out a Dark-Rock-Slim-something-or-other to a Thermalright-PA120. Huge upgrade, I think the previous was having contact issues; everything seemed normal when I took apart though (torque/paste/etc). 20c ambient idle/load went from ~55/throttling to 35/70c.

I have used AIOs for my CPUs in the past, but they've been a bit of a hit and miss depending on the CPU I was using (they're kind of rubbish on AMD's X3D ones). So now, I voted air.

Custom loops are nice, but too much of a hassle for way too little benefit in my opinion.
