You will ahve to watch out with a 240MM as if you have a tall motherboard it isn't going it fit in the r4.

 

AIO OEM fans tend to be louder but you can just change them.

With the define r4, it comes to a point of which is cooler, the noctua nhd15 has equal cooling to the h110(which the r4 can't fit natively). But if you truly want an aio I would highly recommend the thermaltake water 3.0 extreme

Best noise to performance would be an air cooler. NH-D15, Dark Rock Pro 3 or Phanteks TC14PE.

 

What CPU do you have?

 

have been using a NH-D14 for years now, want to try something new :)

Alright. Well in that case:

 

140mm: NZXT Kraken X41

 

240mm: Cooler Master Seidon 240M

 

280mm: Cooler Master Nepton 280L or NZXT Kraken X61

+1 on these. Could even try the swiftech H220x with noise blocker fans, with a custom fan curve.
