kraken x62 vs h150i/kraken x72

[Mcwrah]

Hey guys, my question is, I am thinking about which of these AIOs is better (performance wise only). I have 3x NF A12x25s spare if I choose the 360mm, and some noctua 140mm fans if i choose the x62. My question is, from pure performance perspective, how much better are the 360mm rads compared to kraken x62 which is 280mm? I will be using it on my 8086K @5.2ghz (1.34V) and might try pushing it a bit more so if theres any noticeable difference (3c+) then I would go for the 360mm but can't find any concrete info on these. Thanks in advance

Logically they should perform the same. You need to understand that the surface area of a 240mm when compared to a 280mm rad, where both have the same thickness and fins per inch count, you will have the 280mm win due to the larger surface area. In your case, i'd pick the 360mm version.

Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R does better than the X72.

I don't doubt that, would probably be the cheapest of them all but sadly not an option because they only sell 240mm version in here + don't care what fans come with it, they will be replaced by noctuas NF a12x25

I just finished a review on the new Corsair H115i RGB Platinum (280), but the Corsair H100i Pro (240) still does better.
