Since noctua nh d15 air cooling has been on par or surpassing any aio and even all but the high end custom loops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeQX1uhb0iQ

Not really. The NH D15 is an impressive cooler, but it falls behind 280 AIOs. Even ones cheaper than itself.

Yeah I admit that there are cheaper water coolers than Noctua that perform better. But the main issue I have is with water cooling itself (can burst or leak if unlucky or with poor maintenance, has a more limited life span, etc...)
