Im planning to upgrade my Machine soon To Ryzen, im intending to Use An R7 1700 In a Asrock x370 Taichi with an Corsair H80i GT cooling it... At the moment i have everything but my processor on hand... Including the mentioned H80i GT and an AM4 bracket.
Im trying to decide whether i should Sell my New Still in unopened packaging H80i GT and Replace it with Another AIO with a larger Radiator or Keep it and be happy with what i have.
This decision i partially influenced by Aesthetics but mostly by The Level of cooling capacity and resulting Low noise levels i wish to achieve. My Line of thinking is that if i sell the H80i and replace it with something Like A larger 240mm H100i V2 or a 280mm H115i My temperatures Might be A few Degrees (5-10c) better with Those coolers with a R7 1700 At 3.8-3.9 Ghz at i as a consequence might be able to make my Rig significantly quieter with a fan curve in conjunction with the increased cooling capacity of those dual rads.
Should i do this?
 
Solution
the h80i cant operate quietly in that oc. u r correct there to go for a h115i. but y a liquid cooler though?. i would prefer the kraken x62 the swiftech h220x. or go for noctua nh d15 or cryorig r1 cuz these aircoolers cool almost the same and quietly as the h110i v2[not quiet] and costs less.

Solution
If you can sell that "cooler" for a decent amount of money and afford Swiftech H220 X2 or EK Predator, go for it :)
if your budget or religion does not allow it, you can definitely use it. it will be just noisy.
I'd get Noctua's NH-D15 or NH-U12S SE-AM4 anyday over that anemic thing for both performance and noise.
 
If you want quiet, you'll HAVE to buy aftermarket fans. Stock fans on these AIOs are LOUD AF. Like seriously, Vacuum Cleaner loud. Noctua NH-D15 is really good because it performs as well as the AIOs and you get the benefit of not spending another $40 on quiet, high quality fans.
