l'm looking at picking up a quiet closed loop cooler for my Node 804 build and I'm looking into a CM Nepton 240M or XL. I have 3 questions about these: Are these coolers good? Which is quieter? Which will produce lower temps?

There is no 240 XL, what do you mean?

there is no 240xl.

But the 240m is pretty good.

 

If you care about quiet , just replace the stock fans with noctua ones.

The 240m is better than the 120xl.the larger radiator, the better

240M will perform better than that. Thicker radiator on the XL does not compensate for the much smaller size.
