Recommend AIO for Build

[acid1011]

I have a 8700k inside a Corsair Crystal 460x.

Currently the Processor is running at 4.6 GHz @1.15v
It's being cooled by a Cryorig R1 Universal.

So the thing is i want to upgrade to an AIO. I am looking at the Corsair Hydro H150i Pro RGB. And i have a few questions:

1. Will upgrading to an AIO such as the one listed give me significant headroom for some more oc? (currently pushing to 4.7 drives the temps to 80+ on AIDA extreme which i'm not comfortable with)
2. From most benchmarks it appears that the H115i performs almost on par with the H150i (near 2-3 degree margin), is the extra few bucks worth it? ( i'm willing to shell out the money for h150i tho, just need to quench my curiosity :V )

3. Anyone using the H150i with the crystal 460x? will it fit? the official website for the 460x doesnt list the H150i in the compatibility list but i'm guessing that page is outdated.
4. Any other AIO at this price point that you would recommend? I have access to NZXT kraken and a few thermaltake ones in our local shops.

 

Sorry for the long post. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Judging from the PCPP build, the H150i Pro fits.

But what about the others? Should i just get the h115i as it seems to be better at cooling according to gamersnexus

May I please comment. This is IMO and my thoughts and doesn't reflect other Corsair units or products.  Unless my AIO is defective, DO NOT GET Corsair AIO.  The pump is so freakin loud and makes noise and cricket noises the fans are horrible at 600rpm they start making a cricket noise and its annoying as hell.  At full blast it sounds like a cricket jet, Its unbearable.  I called Corsair and their willing to RMA but I highly doubt it's defective.  Its sad.  I stop the rad fans to 0 zero rpm, video card @ 33 percent no noise from them, and I stop the intake and exhaust fan and PSU fan as well all zero rpm.  So all thats left to make noise is the pump.  Boy let me tell you its a disaster,  Going from 2800rpm to 2100rpm cut the stupid sounds and noise but still doesn't do the job.  Ive had Thermaltake looped cooling before and the pump made no noise even if you stuck your head right into it.  Also the Rad fans were silent.  1500rpm and silent.  If you want a quiet PC, do not get Corsair, unless mine is defective.  Buy at your own risk.  Im just warning you from a very PO'd user.  Corsair makes good memory and PSU's but their fans sound like the F50 Jet with a crickety very annoying sound.  Very sad cooling it is.  As for getting the 150i ,, I would have done that but my case fitting is only up top and its made for 280mm Rad.  Even the Corsair case I got which says silent,, the exhaust fan was soo loud and no PWM I had to replace it with another fan I had which I put to spin at 700rpm and its dead silent. Corsair has no idea what their doing with fans and pumps.  I can record the sound take a video and you will see what I mean.  I give it a 0 out of 5 stars.  You've been warned.  I like Corsair don't get me wrong, but this sH*T is a joke.  Im at 37c with the fans one of them makes a louder cricket noise at 450rpm and other at 600rpm,, I swear the pump noise comes over it.  I wanted a quiet rig like a MAC case that's silent, instead I have a drunk symphony playing for me.
