I'm just wondering how much performance gain your looking at as I'm currently torn between 3 aios the corsair h100i pro, the kraken x62, and the kracken m22 I want go with the sleek nzxt coolers but the corsair is 50 bucks cheaper and dual fan. So if performance gain is minimal I will go with m22. Btw I'm hoping to overclock the i5 8600k.

The more radiator space, the better heat dissipation.  Personally I think CoolerMaster makes crap AIO fans.  Not sure which ones you will get on the AIO you bought but Ive bought 2 CM AIO's and both came with this janky POS static pressure fan that could barely move air.

Ok so I'm just wondering what it will be in kinda like temps if it's like a 7 degree difference i would go single fan just curious how much performance difference there is on average

it depends what cooler you're already using. typically high end air coolers perform better than AIOs

Yeah I'm using a hyper 212 evo a d I did see linus's vid on it but I am hoping to do heavy overclocking or at least a fair amount of it

well the m22 would perform the worst. From what i've seen from charts in the past, the evga clc 280 is the best performing AIO but somewhat louder than others

 

Again, for the best overclocking, i would go with a beefier air cooler like the dark rock pro or noctua d-15

@DerrkI also want it to be aesthetically pleasing though that's why I was thinking the x62 from nzxt and why I wouldn'wouldn't air cooler as they can be a bit of a b@#ch to install

If you are going with an aio then don't got smaller than 240mm unless you are forced to due to size constraints (micro builds)

 

Going with a 120mm or 140mm AIO isn't going to be much if any better than the h212.
