> i7-13700k 253 W max turbo power is not that crazy by today's standards. > top of the line case, very good fans / circulation, and a large AIO I think you'll find that what people consider good cooling for a desktop has changed somewhat in the last decade. My first GPU didn't even have a fan, but today it's fairly common for enthusiast builds to have an external radiator. I dunno what you consider large, but most AIOs only have slightly more surface area than large air coolers so they really aren't worth it for sustained workloads like gaming or ML training. Custom loops have always been the go-to solution.
