I went from AIO to air cooling quite recently after the pump on my AIO failed. Honestly not sure if I was just going from a bad AIO to a good cooler (smaller version of the Dark Rock Pro) but I actually found it to be quieter and the performance difference.

Honestly the best bit though was the piece of mind that I don't have liquid inside my computer anymore. The idea of the pump leaking down onto my GPUs when I'm not around was stressful.
