A big, 280 radiator aims to provide this AIO a bit more breathing room for your CPU overclocks, but falls a bit short.

I've never understood the AIO thing, water cool or don't.

There's multiple cases out there that don't offer 160mm or better motherboard clearance for an aircooler, but will mount a 120/240/360mm radiator. So if wanting to get a bigger cpu, add some OC and still have cooling capability over or above the cpu output, often a larger rad is the only alternative. Considering a decent, full custom loop can easily top $900 and requires greater periodic maintenance, fluid top-offs, fluid changes etc, an AIO fills the niche between what's cost effective and available when big-air simply is not an option.

Nice work mate.

This just in, a 280mm won't outsool a larger capacity 360. Who'da thunk it...
