There is a point though as a water cooler can cool an extremely small area better than heatpipes. Look at Zen 4 processors for instance. The CCD is so small and offset that many air coolers don't properly line the heat pipes with part of the CPU making the most heat. Because of this Noctua even makes and sells an offset bracket to try and move the heatpipes over the CCD. Meanwhile a waterblock should cool the entire area at effectively the same rate as it doesn't rely on vaporizing the coolant and condensing but just pushing coolant through regardless of heat saturation.

Only a fraction of people should really notice that like overclockers and generally people buy coolers they don't need.
