I can't decide what AIO to get for this case. I have a Ryzen 3700X to cool.

I'm going to get 6x Corsair QL120/ML120 fans for the intakes. So I need an appropriately sized AIO to help function as an exhaust as well. I am leaning more towards the Corsair coolers to match the intake fans. I'm looking for a balance of performance and quietness.

Originally I was going to get the Corsair H115i RGB Platinum 280mm, but this worries me that there isn't enough exhaust pressure. So that leads me to Corsair iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT 360mm. No RGB fans unfortunately, but the product description sounds about right. However, I can't find much info on how this performs.

What are people's thoughts on the above AIO coolers for this case?
 
Last I checked ML are best for case fans/intake if you want airflow - also a bit quieter than QL series.

QL is a newer model to replace LL series - basically double the amount of RGB LEDs so better distributed and looks smarter.

Both great fans, depends if you want slightly better performance (and a touch quieter) or nicer RGB aesthetics :p
 
£160 for an AIO... wow.
I was asking less for my custom WC loop and seen another one go for almost half that the other day too on MM.

Also, you can cool a 3700x with £40 air cooler and it will do everything in the same way the £160 AIO will.

5c difference (in stress testing, gaming/normal use 0-1c) between the £70 aio and this as well, yeh looks nice on the chart but real life makes absolutely 0 difference.

What am I missing?

If you want AIO - get cheap one, pick RGB fans of your choice if you want them and control them via mobo/fan controller. At £160 AIO + FANS you're looking at more than you'd spend building a whole custom loop and again, it won't give you any more performance than a decent £35-40 air cooler.
