I'm like you wasn't really interested in liquid cooling, my two choices were the Noctua D15 Chromax or Be Quite Dark Rock Pro 4 as the Noctua were sold out at the time I got the Be Quite, it works well and keeps my Ryzen 5800X well under control when gaming to around the mid 50s C. Also the only thing that could ever go wrong with it would be a fan failure of which there are two. Be quiet is correct too it is very quiet hard to believe and the fans hardly ever ramp up. Well happy with this cooler.
