Passive is a meme. If a fan fails with a HSF you replace the fan which is inexpensive. If the pump dies on an AIO you have to replace almost the entire unit and I've had to do it personally several times. Corsair has good CS at least. Also you can go with an AIO that's more of a custom loop in a box where that isn't an issue but with those they usually give you bottom bin parts. I had to replace the pump on my Swifftech H220 three times before I just gave up on the thing.

Pretty sure that was only the D14 if you had ram with stupidly large heatsinks on them. I guess if you buy overpriced meme led ram you need the overpriced meme cooler to go with it.

Man I'm still rocking my Corsair h100i since 2014, CPU never goes past 45°C

Shit like this really makes we wonder if I'm just extremely lucky or if other people are doing something wrong/are retarded. I've been putting together PCs for over 10 years and I've never had a single part fail (in the time that I had the hardware). Never had a part that was DOA either. Yet you can go on any site that sells PC components and find a plethora of reviews talking about how they've had 5 motherboards that were DOA or a power supply that shit out on them 2 times before they got a working one. Again, maybe I'm just really lucky so my opinion is biased but I just feel like people are full of shit. Just for reference I leave my computer running almost 24/7 too.

What are you doing? Make up your mind. And if your air fails, and you don't have a fan you're out of service until you can replace it. I'm going to assume you're an idiot, as well, since my singular experience with AIO circa a 2012 unit was that they fail well after the hardware they're cooling is obsolescent (a lifetime of 5 years).

When decent passive systems aren't 1000% more expensive call me.

It's probably a bunch of babby's first builders that shorted shit out or something. The only problem I ever had was a product of bad GPU BIOS on the 8800GT cards at release causing "limp home" mode to trigger. That and a whiny PWM motor in a fan, but that was easily remedied.
