[SOLVED] 280mm AIO vs 360mm AIO

[FranticSkunk]

Hi,

My friend recently bought a 360mm AIO and says he has noticed a big difference and suggests that I should buy one (He doesn't know much about PC hardware) I already have a 280mm Corsair h115i on an i5 8600k which is overclocked to 4.8GHz, would it be worth it to upgrade from my 280mm to a 360mm? I'm not bothered by noise pollution, I'm simply wondering if the cooling performance increase makes it actually worth it especially when I already have a 280mm?

Here the way I would look at it.
You are either cool enough now or you aren't.
Are you?
If you are cool enough now...getting cooler isn't going to help anything.

That is a very good point... xD
