I own an i7 6800k processor, which is excellent for gaming and editing. I’m looking for the top liquid AIO cooler to pair with it, especially since I plan to overclock it to 4.4ghz. I need a cooler with an LED light for both performance and style! Also, I require a 280mm model because my case space is limited. I want to keep temperatures low—ideally not going above 80 degrees or more—and I’m aiming for a very reliable cooler that can handle the job. Thanks ahead of time!

this would be the optimal choice
they also offer a 280 model, verify the dimensions for compatibility
there’s no superior (in terms of performance/noise/reliability) aio liquid cooler if you prefer led, opt for a led strip or even better hue+

We're settling for the "best cooler" now.
Then we begin to compare Hyundai TO THE BEST CAR.
The cooling system will work within 1-2 degrees compared to models like the h100i, and possibly 1-3 on the predator. The predator is a significantly bigger investment. You should only buy it if you intend to expand beyond just an aio cpu loop.

h100 and kraken were built at the same factory, which is Atek. Regarding the temperature, the variation will be closer to 10°C, and Predator will be quieter. Also, I can't call 40$ "a huge investment" here—it's more like a "much smarter investment." Not to mention that Predator is essentially a pre-built custom loop; you can customize it freely, but after 3-4 years it will likely become outdated.
