360/420mm AIO cooler - mounting?

Hi all, thinking about going for an Arctic cooling AIO cooler for my Corsair 800D case - I know the case will support 360mm AIO rads, but I'm wondering if there's a different mounting size between 360mm and 420mm, or is it just the fan size that ships with the unit that's different and my case will handle either just fine?

360 rads are 3x120mm fan sized plus a bit at the end for the res and tubes. So are basically 380x120.

420 rads are 3x140 fan sized plus a bit at the end for the res and tubes. So are basically 440x140.

You then need to consider the mounting holes need to be 120mm spaced for the 360 and 140mm spaced for the 420.

Not many cases support 420s. It's usually 280 or 360 max in most decent cases (mine is like this). I haven't checked yours but checking the spec page of your case will tell you.
