CPU experienced repeated overheating issues.
I dislike AIOs due to their frequent problems. I owned one with my 9900k and will never purchase another AIO. I prefer the appearance of a robust AirCooler; they’re adequate for most builds unless you're running a 14900k. The Peerless Assassin SE 120 is an excellent choice, available in various colors—white works well for your DeepCool setup, and AK620 also comes in white. AirCoolers are highly dependable, most dual-tower units operate quietly (I barely hear my NH-D15 with a 7700x), and they can function with just one fan if needed. You can continue using your PC while replacing a fan later. Overall, I haven’t encountered any fan failures in my 25 years of PC building.
