Hi, I'm trying to decide which 280mm water cooler to purchase. It's been a while since I built a PC, and I'm looking for something I can enjoy and overclock. The parts mentioned are the ones I'm interested in. I've heard the EVGA CLC 280 and Corsair H115i Extreme are top picks for performance. That's what I'm mainly focused on.
I've noticed the H115i Extreme is no longer available, and now only the H110i Extreme remains. I'm curious about why the H115i isn't offered anymore and if the H110i could be a good alternative. Is the CLC 280 a better option?
Thanks!
The H115i Extreme has been superseded by the H115i Pro. I suggest choosing the H115i Pro instead of the H110i, mainly due to its superior fan setup. The H115i Pro includes ml 140mm fans, whereas the H110i features sp 140mm fans. The ml models perform better and offer both airflow and static pressure control. They represent Corsair's premium line of fans.
I haven't tested the EVGA CLC, so I can't provide an opinion on it.
You can purchase the H115i Pro from Newegg:

The H115i Pro offers a solid configuration, allowing me to operate my [email protected] occasionally without exceeding 70°C. It runs very quietly and has been consistently dependable. (Note: My pump stopped working while writing this.) I haven’t tried the other products myself.
Most AIO coolers rely on one of three or fewer pump designs. They essentially represent rebranded versions of each other, with the main distinctions lying in radiator size, fan speed/airflow, and any accompanying software. I'm about to test a couple of the new Corsair models soon.
I recently acquired a couple of the latest Corsair coolers and will be testing them soon. Would you mind sharing your impressions briefly? Additionally, I intend to purchase an i9 9900k paired with a Coolermaster H500M case. Could you suggest any other AIO coolers that might perform better than those already mentioned? Thanks!

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R remains the top performer in its category, though the NZXT X72 offers a more appealing design. The ML240R serves as a solid 240mm option.
