Best AIO Cooler?

I noticed all the best AIO coolers people are suggesting are 240/280mm, does it mean they perform better than some 360mm?

I found some like: Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimat 360mm
DEEPCOOL® Gamer Storm CAPTAIN 360 <This one looks pretty amazing btw
FRACTAL DESIGN S36

But i couldnt find any comparison to all other aio coolers

I think it's just that the majority of AIO coolers are 240/280mm, More compatibility with cases.
 
The best AIOs are Swiftech, and they are only 140, 240, and 280mm. The H140-X is a great AIO with same pump as H220-X and H240-X and same fans as H240-X, just different radiators. The pump is powerful enough to easily handle extra radiator and/or waterblock.
 
The radiator on those Swiftech AIOs aren't very restrictive to airflow. So the stock fans are plenty enough, and there's not a big difference going from, say, 50% on the fans to 100% fan speed.
 
I'm interested to see how the H110i GTX compares to the GT... they look VERY similar on paper. Can't find any reviews of it yet though.

The Swiftech would be a great option if they were available in the UK, but to import from Europe isn't cheap, and if you're looking at it for ONLY cooling a CPU, it's perhaps a tad overkill at the price it will cost (north of £150 last time I checked).
 
Having all sorts of issues with the H110i GT I just installed.

Didn't start well though - 3 finger prints worth of fins bent out of shape on opening. And a stand-off screw snapping when mounting the block. Decided to risk switching it on anyway and the fans will not spin down from max for love nor money despite the temp being at 30. Everything is plugged in correctly yet Corsair Link doesn't recognise it.

I'm sure this isn't indicative of all of them, I'm just unlucky. What is common though is the 20mm gap between fans screwholes on the rad. It's not standard and I can't mount it end to end in my case. Instead I can only mount one set of fan holes. It's pretty sturdy though...
 
I've noticed this trend with Corsair... it's either amazing and the best ever, or riddled with faults and problems. I've had a Corsair Hydro H50 AIO in another PC that's been running for nearly 5 years no problems, so my own experience has been good.
 
Don't suppose you are still making the wheel stands for the enthoo pro are you doyll, really want 1 but i defo don't have this skills to do it myself haha :/

There shouldn't be any differences (performance wise). Confirmed by Corsair rep, cosmetic changes http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=141470

Have not made one for the Pro. I just got a Luxe so can now measure and make one .. for me first. :D As Luxe & Pro are same basic case, what works under one should work under the other. Trust me a message.
