It's simple for me. Points of failures of air cooling: fans. Failure states: fan fails, system heat protection kicks in and shuts down.

Water cooling? Points of failure: fans, pumps, tubbings, fittings. Failure states: fan fails (best case), worst case? Liquid goes over electronics while they are powered.
