If the Corsair H80i can outpace it, I wouldn't compare it to a high end 360 rad

Are these fairly reputable citations? on here it looks like the NZXT Kraken X62 seems like a good fit

Yes, both are very well respected sites.

so the x62 would be a really good fit yeah? other than the fact it sounds like an airplane taking off?

IIRC it performs pretty badly for a 360mm AIO, in GN's testing the EVGA CLC 280 (280mm rad, I have one) was beating it.

Do you know of a good 360MM AIO RGB one that would do the job?

The lead looks to be decent, the corsiar 240mm cooler in the second link you added. The asetek one is obviously gonna lag behind, like I said, a quality air cooler would match a huge, cheap water cooler, but a high quality 360 or 280 rad is still gonna be best (even if not by much)

What's the best option for me for a 360mm AIO on the high end? I might be an idiot but i think the case would look really good with the 3 fans being RGB but i can always replace the stock ones for others.

Corsiar H150i pro for 360mm, the fans are high quality so be sure to keep good RGB fans in mind if you were to replace them. Kraken x62 for 280mm aio, if you like.

Almost all 360mm/280mm AIOs are oem'd from Asetek. The h110i GT performs so well because its fans spin very fast also making it very loud (it also has 4 fans). 

 

Edit: it doesn't, I found no evidence other than Guru3D, outside variables such as ambient air temp could have affected this.

Fairly certain Corsair coolers are not asetek, and neither are kraken (although the latter I'm not as sure).

Only Cooler Master and Deepcool make their own AIOs.

My plan is to buy the Cooler Master ml360r to go with the Coolermaster case I purchased in hopes the AIO will work with the RGB controller that comes with the AIO or case. 

Mount that on the front pulling air in, and the 3 RGB fans that come with the case, mount two on top and one on the back pushing out. I've linked the Case and cooler. Do you think that will work? do I need a special motherboard to support the RGB and Fans? I won't be overclocking
