Which is better a 240mm Rad or a 280mm Rad? 280mm Rad will be NZXT X61 then 240mm rad is H100i.

280mm is technically better but there are better fans for rads at 120mm vs 140mm so I'd go H100i. Just a warning though, I used to have a H100i. I went custom loop because it was too loud. You may want to look at how loud the NZXT one is compared to the H100i. But to answer your question they will perform negligibly different.

 

Take that back. I was wrong.

280 obviously :) and 140mm fans are quieter too.

Maybe my case can negate that sound. Also I use either a loud speaker or a headset so noise may not be that noticeable.

But, are stock fans reliable? As far as 280mm rads, there are only few 140mm fans for them to use.

There are lots of aftermarket 140mm fans if you wish to swap the stock ones.

Stock fans suck... They are loud. Well I guess that depends on what you get but my stock fans were really bad so I replaced them but then the pump was too loud. To be honest after Linus' video on the NHD14 I would recommend that. It's an air cooler with AIO performance but without the terrible pump noise. I'm a super perfectionist and don't settle for anything so I'm a little biased.

Always change the stock fans to something better. Noctua has very good static pressure 140mm fans :)

Yep, but what sucks is, in our country there are few 140mm fans. I don' want to spend $30(noctua) for a single fan. That would blow me wallets away.

There was a post earlier about a really cool looking AIO.

If you want an AIO I would say H220 because of the expansion capability. I mean just look at my member title lol.

Meh. Raijintek is not available here. Haha. I would love to go with corsair or nzxt because of the lighting effect of their pump. I really like those things.

Its worth it. You only need 2, and they will improve your temps more than anything else. Save up a little and get some of the new sexy black fans :)

Yep still waiting for those fans to get here. Haha. If it's good enough maybe i'll use it too as front intake fans.
