Because there is no benefit of a thin AIO 360mm radiator. The Ultimate 3.0 does about as well as the Corsair H105.

You may as well go 280mm mate, more surface area

Fractal Design and Deepcool both have some

Actually not more surface area. 280 x 140mm = 39200mm^2 area vs 360 x 120mm = 43200mm^2 area 

 

43200/39200 = 1.102 =~10% more surface area from the 360mm radiator. Now TBH I would go less fans if possible but for maximum performance I would go with a custom setup if you are getting a 360mm radiator. You can still get a kit with top quality parts like an XSPC Raystorm RX360 kit

If you really don't want to go custom (Custom kits like the one I mentioned run $180+) then really there is no AIO 360mm option with a thick radiator on the market. Technically the tests have said that Fractal Design Kelvin S36 units are the best 360mm AIO on the market but they are not available in the USA as far as I know.

 

In any case glhf

I would love to do custom but im a Lil wuss abt doing it wrong and leaking it

Any good tutorial?

[decripple]

I think the 3 year old one from Linus/NCIX is still good/relevant. Really the most important thing to do is leak test your loop without your parts powered on (basically power to pump only) this can be easily done with a paperclip or even more easily with an XSPC power bridge
