The Kraken x41 is much thinker and thus an increase surface area for fin arrays of course it might also have a better pump but honestly I never got into the fine details yet.

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

The single 140mm rad has better support especially in SFF cases and I personally like the NZXT RGB LED better than anyone else's. Since I might be moving to SFF soon I'll be utilizing that or the x61 if I can fit it, I haven't decided on what I'll do yet so I might not even use either, but I would really like to have it.

tbh justifying AIO watercoolers is difficult. I would suggest a good air cooler if your case has the room for it.

Also the H100i has a pretty unimpressive pump iirc.

not wasting 300$ on a custom loop just to chance it breaking and ruinning my computer or it to wear down in a few years and do the same. they have a 3 year warrenty usually and cost 1/3rd the money. customs might look and perform nicer but i aint got no time for that or any money

And good air coolers like the Dark Rock Pro 3 and NH-D14/NH-D15 are cheaper, quieter, better and more reliable than their AIO watercooling counterparts. The choice is not just between custom loops and All In Ones.

Air coolers are huge things. Not good for frequent LAN parties and what not. And lets day you god forbid drop your PC, that air cooler would do some damage to your socket/motherboard.
