Question Air Noctura cooling or AIO Corsair for Threadripper 3960x

[spikeysonic]

Is it better to have a air cooler such as the

• NOCTUA NH-U14S TR4-SP3 FAN CPUCOOLER
  
  
• COOLERMASTER WRAITH RIPPER

or a AIO like the

• CORSAIR Hydro H100i Addressable RGB PLATINUM Liquid/Water Intel/AMD CPU Cooler
• CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML360 RGB TR4 Edition All In One Liquid CPU Cooler
• CORSAIR H150I Pro Cpu Cooler

Is it better to have a air cooler such as the

• NOCTUA NH-U14S TR4-SP3 FAN CPUCOOLER
  
  
• COOLERMASTER WRAITH RIPPER

You can find a comparison between the 2 here:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cooler-master-wraith-ripper-amd-tr4-cooler,6057-2.html (this was done with a 2990WX, but it should still give you an idea of the performance between the 2 coolers)

If you plan to overclock it though, then definitely consider 1 of the 2 360mm AIOs instead. Otherwise, the NH-U14S will be plenty.
