SFF Gaming rig... AIO/Watercooling required?

[Removed User 345456]

It does tempt me to build a mini itx build and a nice small case but I really don't want nor like water and electrics and have very bad luck haha!

I could buy the best of the beat aio or whatever and mine would leak and someone with the crappest Chinese Ali express one wouldn't!

Could I get away with just getting an amazing similarly priced hsf setup instead?

Or am I doomed to throttling cpus and gpus and mad amounts of heat?

If so I'll just forget it and stick to a mid size tower under the desk I guess.

was going to get an nr200p with a sycthe mugen 5 rev.b but I think I'm just going to stick with a smaller tower now tbh and run fans a bit less. it's under the desk anyway so doesn't matter too much. I just like the sff look haha.
