Subzero cooling will give higher speeds... but subzero cooling costs more to buy into than high-end watercooling and most configs are not suitable for low cost 24/7 operation. Not to mention it carries a higher risk of shorts due to condensation leaks.

From my experience I do. I've seen more cascades fail to condensation working it's way past the seal than I have watercooling loops fail... and I do not even keep track of "exotic" cooling solutions. It is far easier to secure and double check a hose clamp than it is to keep condensation completely out of a CPU or GPU subzero setup.

agreed, but risk for WC/Subzero is much higher compared to air cooling; and the benefit from WC for either high end or low noise has pretty much gone;

also reason why we don't as many water cooling reviews as we did few years ago
