PCs...are you liquid or air cooled?

I used to be an Apple guy (and a liberal too) long time ago...I always looked down at PCs as complicated, prone to viruses and opposite of user friendly. But Apple is no longer the company it used to be, and you cannot really build a Mac anyways, so that is kind of boring.

Now, I find lots of similarities between PCs and Porsches: they can be air or liquid cooled, various engine sizes (intel i3,5,7 or AMD Ryzen 3,5,7), they can be overclocked (as Porsches can be turbocompressed), and they are easy to work on, for the most part.

Also, you can put a new engine in an old chassis, which is what I recently did by putting an AMD ryzen 3 2200g on an MSI B450 board in and old e-machines. That is Like upgrading a 2.7L with a 3.0L. It will never be like a brand new Porsche, but plenty enough power for what I want to do, which was playing Grand Theft Auto 5, since I am a car guy .

Anyways, I was just curious to see if people shared the same experiences of working on Porsche’s and PCs, and so far I remain an air cooled guy as far as both are concerned
