Had me in the first half. I looked at using an AIO for my PC build but ultimately went with an air cooler the size of a damned rubix cube and a high airflow case. My room gets toasty with raytracing titles, lol

Wouldn't your room get equally/more toasty with liquid cooling? That heat has to get dumped somewhere, and liquid would theoretically be more effective at dumping it into your room.

  What alternative wouldn’t end up dumping it in your room?

    With a liquid cooler you could theoretically have the heat exchanger in a separate room or outside.

      Or add underfloor heating to the bathroom. My girlfriend might actually be happy that I'm gaming.

  yeah no doubt. Interestingly, I have seen a water cooling setup that dumped heat to a massive outdoor radiator, but that was obviously a one off project. I'd say I was surprised by the amount of heat a gaming pc can generate these days but when you have a gpu that can consume ~ 400W and a cpu at ~ 100W, only so much my 'space heater that draws pretty triangles' can do, lol. I might look into undervolting this summer.
