another question about watercooling

im ready to buy the parts for my watercooling loop but i can't decide on which radiator to get,im stuck between this:https://www.caseking.de/en/coolgate-cg280-280mm-radiator-schwarz-wara-307.html(A 60mm rad with 7 fins per inch)

and this guy:https://www.caseking.de/en/ek-water-blocks-ek-coolstream-ce-280-waek-1111.html(a 45mm radiator with 16 fins per inch)

my question is which one of those two has the greatest heat dissipation(for fans im using2x noctua's nf-a14 3000rpm)

gaming system: R7 3700X @ 4.25Ghz cpu / B450 STEEL LEGEND mobo / 4x8gb corsair Vengeance @3333Mhz ram / RX 7900XTX pulse gpu / Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 cpu cooler /

Coolermaster Qube 500 case / Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 12 1500w power supply

 

laptop: Dell xps 9510, 3.5k OLED, i7 11800h, rtx 3050 ti, 2x16gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz, 1TB main drive, 2TB add in ssd

I have two of the ek rads. Really like them. Great cooling and still have great airflow. Use them with the noctua 2k and 3k variants. 

 

Have an alphacool 280 and 80mm think, low fpi, it’s ok but lacks airflow and with my cases I have to use it as intake. Stacking that and fans makes it quite big. 

For that reason I’d prefer the ek.
