Most AIO perform about the same due to the parts coming from same places.  Ones block compared to others is just a interface a square or a circle or what not.  The pump will still be low profile and prone to breaking but don't quote me on that.  Anyhow get wahtever design you like and also take into considation the software you can use with it.

Yeah ok I'll probably get the x62 and strap on the some noctua fans (you can do that right?) From my old tower heatsink I'm getting rid of my tower heatsink because 1 it doesn't look great and 2 it's to big and clearance is a big pain and if I had taller ram it wouldn't fit.

About the prone to breaking thing I think the chance it does break is very low and if it does they have a 6 year warranty

Yes chances are very low,  sorta like a hard drive going bad ya know.  It can live for 10 years or not lol.  But that warranty is nice to have.  Don't forget to get the most out of it by installing the software and what not.

Is there a specific reason you need an AIO?

Most of the good air coolers will perform the same, if not better, for a lower price and fewer potential points of failure.

Yes, especially like the monster DRP4 it is very silent and efficient.  Worth 85 bucks and what not.

Looks and clearance I can barely fit my ram in and it's hard to put stuff in without taking the whole cooler off

Yeah, that's a good reason for an AIO.

 

I've only ever used Corsair AIOs, but I've heard very few complaints about them overall.

I would never recommend nzxt their software is so bad and I mean it Soo bad. Corsair would be a way better choice for the price or really any other cooler besides nzxt
