No point, the dogie guy will dodge this scenario as he insulted me while being delusional and pretending that I was incompetent for pointing out his failure.

Don't forget those are manufactured specs. An example is gigabytes windforce cooler which they claim can dissipate up to 600watts.

He mentioned high end air cooler or basic 120mm watercooler. I pointed out a dual 120mm closed loop cooler could do up to 300w but would love to see his unicorn air cooler.. Somehow he thinks quoting me as If I can't read and chose to not post this unicorn cooler and insult me instead, of course because we all know typing 3 words is easier than 30 Smiley
Coolers don't have a single parameter that defines how much power they can dissipate. I could dissipate 1000W from a stock Intel CPU cooler with a little airflow, depending on parameters. Most mining ASICs are designed to run pretty hot and acoustics are much less important than they are in a desktop computer. I can't speak from experience with the RB chips in particular, but with a flip chip package it's absolutely possible to dissipate 300W of heat using a relatively inexpensive air cooler like the Hyper 212 Evo and a high flow fan. I'd agree about using water cooling though; it does make things easier and isn't much more expensive in low volumes if you keep your eyes open. I just bought six H80i's from Newegg for CDN$284 (about US$255), and you can dissipate 550-600W at the chip (~800W at the wall) if using a high flow fan while keeping die temps at or under 100C.
