Silent Loop 280 vs 360

[AYDANN6ix9ine]

So the Be Quiet Silent Loop 280mm AIO cost about $175 for what I'm seeing and the 360mm version cost about $190. Is the 360mm version worth it for the extra 15 bucks?

 

I would assume if you're going with something like an 8700k/9700k/9900k, there is not that much of a difference. But what about overclocking Threadripper (If it even supports it) or i9 X-TREME Series (7940X, 7960X, 7980-XE, etc.)?

slightly more performance and more noise if you ask me, that's what a normal 280mm vs 360mm aio of the same series usually behaves.

Unless one has a significantly bigger base plate, they will perform similarly.

about a 10% increase in surface area going to the 360mm.

 

to me $15 is negligible for AIO pricing .. personally iI would go with whichever filled out my case better. If it fits a 360 and you put a 280 in, it would create an 8cm dead space at the end of the rad causing an unfinished look imo.
