AIO or liquid cooling if moving around often

[NeverM0re]

I'm going to build a new PC and I am deciding between Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and Corsair Hydro H100i v2. I would like to go for the air cooler since it's cheaper and perform just as good as a liquid cooler. But I am a college student and I do prefer to carry my PC back home 2-3 times a year during break. So I worry if I move around in long distance that the big air cooler might break the motherboard. Is it still better off to use an air cooler in my situation?

Moving a PC can cause issues no matter what cooler is on it. As far as the 212 EVO performing just as well as the H100i, you are mistaken, but if you don't plan on overclocking, the 212 will work fine. If you have that much of a concern about the 212 breaking, take it off while moving, and take a tube of thermal paste with you to reinstall it.
