Hey guys, I'm trying to decide which AIO is better based only on performance. I have three options: 360mm fans with the spare NF A12x25s, and 140mm fans with some Noctua units if I pick the x62 model. Specifically, I'm comparing the 360mm rads to the Kraken X62 which is 280mm. I want to know how much more efficient the 360mm setup would be from a pure performance standpoint, especially since I might push it a bit higher and could notice a difference. I'm using an 8086K at 5.2ghz with 1.34V and plan to try a few more watts if needed. Thanks in advance for any clear info!

Logically they should act alike. You must grasp that the surface area of a 240mm versus a 280mm rad, with identical thickness and fin density per inch, favors the 280mm due to its greater area. In your scenario, I would choose the 360mm option.

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R performs better compared to the X72.

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R performs better than the X72. It’s likely the most affordable option, though it’s limited to the 240mm size and doesn’t matter much since fans are replaced by Noctuas NF a12x25.

I've just completed a review of the new Corsair H115i RGB Platinum (280), though the Corsair H100i Pro (240) remains superior.
