Hi guys. I'm looking to upgrade my air cooler to an AIO. Currently i'm looking at the newly released Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360L V2 and the ML360R.
I'm not sure which to get in terms of longevity and performance. Since the price varies around $70 in my area.

I'm also looking at NZXT X73 Kraken but i saw reviews that shows the performance is on par with ML360R and it is also another $70 difference in my area

Well the Arctic Freezer II 360mm is a little more expensive than the ML360R in my region here. Arctic Freezer II 360mm at $224 and ML360R at $204 (Both after Tax)

So i'm a little unsure on which to go to 

I'm using cooler masters fans so if i buy the ml360r i can save more on the fans if i want them to have the same rgb lighting but thats not much of a concern

I'm not sure what you are cooling, but I think it's worth spending a little more to get the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 and not get any RGB. It really does seem to be effective if you looked at the reviews for it.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X   Motherboard: MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi   Case: Deepcool Maxtrexx 70   GPU: RTX 3090   RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3x16GB 3200 MHz   PSU: Super Flower 850W

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

What cpu are you cooling with it? Because a 240 rad is usually enough if you buy a decent model.

I'm cooling a Ryzen 3600. Currently i'm using Hyper 212 but my thermals are roughly 60 to 70 Celsius, 

I do want to overclock my cpu slightly more since i'll be upgrading my gpu soon too.
I'm getting 360mm because my case support 360mm from top and front so it'll be weird for aesthethics if i were to get a 240mm.
