I have the 280mm version that I got about 6m back for $70. It's a good AIO but the fans are awful. They are very loud from 50% speed and higher. They even had a weird whiny noise below 50% that bugged me. It ruins the deal having to replace them as soon as you get it. I was only happy with mine after buying Arctic fans for it.
You better have a big ol case to fit a 360mm radiator on the top
I would go for arctic. Saves you the hassle to replace the fans if you opt for EVGA

Both have same price from EVGA website also.

Got this last month for 35 or something like that. It's a nice piece

Quote from damoses1 :
Only issue with the 280mm Arctic AIO is the radiator is too thick to be mounted at the top of most cases. This EVGA 280mm fits perfectly. Slightly less performance but I'd only mount a 280mm AIO on top so Arctic is a no go.

In terms of water cooling... thicker is better.

This or the Noctua D14 with 2 x Noctua fans?
Air cooling 100%.

Noctua D15 is plenty to keep my 5950x OC'd to 4.5GHzall-core 5GHzsingle cool while whisper quiet. I can keep the delta over 10C away from thermal throttle under full sustained load with a custom fan curve while also dropping the fans to an inaudible 300rpm at idle. What more could you want?

So if a $100 D15 can currently handle an OC'd 16-core top-end cpu, why ever futz around with AIO coolers, which are riskier, louder (esp. closer to idle when you can hear the pump chatter), generally more expensive, and have pumps with comparably finite life spans?

Unless you have some sort of explicit, enumerable reason (e.g. are going for an OC record w/ a custom loop, or value aesthetics above function, or are trying to make up for poor case airflow/design, or NEEEEEEED those last 3 degrees or whatever weak nonsense a 360AIO will provide over a good aircooler, etc.) then my recommendation is def quality air cooler any day of the week.

----

As a bonus, chipset, VRM, ram temperatures, etc. usually bench lower with an air cooler than an AIO. Generally speaking, everything on the motherboard immediately around the CPU socket gets more passive airflow with an air cooler.

If you set your fans in BIOS for temp, you won't need to replace the fans.. they never spool up to 100%, as there is no need.

Would this or the Arctic fit in a Alienware Aurora case? IT's way too loud without water cooling?
Thanks!

Bought a 240mm for my son's build a couple years ago. One of the fans was ridiculously loud. Shipping for warranty was more than just buying a replacement.

I also replaced the fans with artic. Bonus, the artics's have "fan off" mode if the pwn signal goes below a certain limit. So you could run passive while surfing or watching videos.

Quote from mactavish201208 :
I agree with the above that the CLC 280s are really, really loud.
The pumps are the same as any other Asetek OEM AIOs, but the fans need a lot of voltage to keep them running. I have to get a third-party software installed to keep it quiet (FanExpert) during idle. That can be a temporary solution but make sure you have another $30 budgeted for Corsair ML140 fans or anything quieter soon.

I thought the reviews were overstating the annoying loudness, especially since I'm not that picky about fan noise. I had it for two days and spent another $40 on better fans. EVGA really dropped the ball on the fans on these.

I don't have any of the EVGA CLC coolers, but from the spec's they post on their fans, they seem to push much more air, and have much higher static pressure than the competition. I've tested these fans by themselves, and found them to push a lot of air even at much reduced speeds, with much reduced noise. Has anybody tried running the fans below 50% and asses their audible/cooling performance? Here are the fan spec's for the 120 & 140 fans that come with their CLCs.

This. The stock fans have a very high flow rate. You can reduce them in the BIOS to be roughly equivalent to the CFM you'd get from some "quiet", but typically much lower flow, replacement fans, and the sound output will be roughly the same.

Why would anyone ever buy this size AIO? You'd have to have an enormous case and if you did, just use a noctua air cooler. It would be silent and probably more efficient. I used to buy an AIO for every build and I just feel stupid now.

I installed the noctua d15 or d14 (customer supplied) in a client's i7 gaming system and it was horrible for cooling. he then asked me to install a corsair cooling system (again client supplied) and now he running very cool.
