I was planning on buying a Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black for my new build but someone I know at work told me $140 for an air cooler is too much and that I should go with water cooling. He says it's completely safe but reading failures can happen and are more catastrophic than just a fan dying gives me anxiety.
I have the NH-D15s and several Noctua case fans, and my 5800X stays nice and frosty, and it's so quiet that when I picked it up from Memory Express after a PSU failure, the girl behind the desk wasn't sure she had turned it on. "Oh my god, is that as loud as it gets? Hey [other person], come check out how quiet this thing is!"

Noctua for the win man.
