All depends in use case, if you are doing lots of cpu intensive work, get an serious aio.

If you are mainly doing just gaming and lighter workloads, a nice air cooler or smaller AiO should be fine.

Rules

Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can’t say something respectfully, don’t say it at all.
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
Give competitors’ recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don’t be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you’re worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you’re using.
