Linus made some videos on Water vs Air cooling, but his results always seemed suspicious and wrong to me. How in the world did a Noctua NH-U12A beat out a 360mm radiator Corsair H150i Pro in his testing? That just cannot be possible, so I tested it out myself with a Silverstone PF240W ARGB Watercooler VS. a Noctua NH-D15S on steriods aka 3000RPM Noctua IPPC the results as I expected...
