I couldn't really find out anything, but apart from what @Bananasplit_00 said, I'd guess the radiators might be of different thicknesses...?

Make sure to tag and/or quote people so they get notified... :P:D

I appreciate your input guys, I'm planning to change my PC to an ITX style build, so I would need to opt for an AIO preferably 240.

Although, I'm very confused why you guys have such bad opinions about them. Care to elaborate a bit? Thanks!

Because they don't perform as well as an air cooler of the same price or cheaper and need to be replaced every 3-5 years while an air tower pretty much lasts forever while being quieter and cheaper.

This is quite understandable. I actually was under the impression that liquid hands down beat air at each tier (albeit the price differences) and now I know that you're paying mostly for the compactness and "space saving" and not the performance entirely. I've done some research and have decided to save up for a higher quality 240mm AIO like the Corsair H115i. Either that or I will have to press pause on my overclocking desires and wait till I know exactly which small form factor  case I end up with and check compatibility with that (when it happens) in order to buy a performance air cooler that fits the bill. I know it will cost me a lot of time though. If I go AIO, it will be in March. The expense is justified when I space it out like this haha

Aio's and water cooling itself isn't really worth it over air cooling unless you are doing some serious overclocking, really it's just to flex on people IMO

Idk if you'll have room in your build but ek's aluminum or se kits are roughly equivalent in price to the 115i pro price and deliver better performance and customization. I was able to fit their s240 kit with one of their water blocks into a silverstone rvz-03 which I believe is 14L of internal volume. Though I had to use right angled fittings so I'm pretty sure I ended up spending something like $300 so that's a little bit over but their aluminum kit is about $160 I believe though the rad is 30mm thick instead of 25 but other than that depending on your cpu it may or may not be work using liquid at all. Just food for thought.
