See brands don't matter (just get one from a reputable brand)

Only the rad size does

Only the rad size does

And the pump.

And the fin density on the rad

And the fin density on the CPU block

Etc.

 

Don't oversimplify.

2 questions, can I either turn the LED off or turn it to green color?

EDIT: Confirmed that it is rgb.

What about the EK Predator?

Specifically, the ones that are 240 and bigger.

I don't have one, but they look pretty damn good...

Unless you are talking about EK Predator. Most AIOs are OEM by Asetek. And the pumps and the cool plates are basically the same internally. Most AIOs use 27mm thick rad. Fin density isn't as big a deal as rad size. There are other non-Asetek AIOs, from Swiftech and AlphaCool. They do have better pumps and with copper rads. However, for some reason they perform no better than AIO with the same sized rad, say, Corsair H100i GTX.

 

What's left is softwares, like CAM. And some come with better fans.. Overall, it's the rad size matters most for AIO.
