Liquid cooling has become more needed because processors and gpu's have become outrageous power hogs. Desktops needing 1,000 watt psu's is just outrageous.

That's not really true, except at the ultra high end. My 4070 barely draws more than my old 1070. The 4080 draws the same as a 3080 with double the performance.

I would argue water cooling is far less needed today. What has changed is Nvidia selling chips that would have been considered extreme aftermarket overclocking 10 years ago.
