Is there any benefit to using the CLC 360 over the 280 when cooling a 9900KS? 
CLC 280 currently in the case tends to make some 'rattling' or vibration noises coming from the pump which I can even hear through headphones from time to time.
Any noise improvements?

    Nexus has reviewed both, not a lot between them. 360 uses the gen 5, no idea about the 280.

    Just checked, thanks. I'll stick with the CLC 280.

    I think the CPU i7-5930 used by gamersnexus in the 360 review  probably could not saturate the the CLC-280 ability to remove the heat. 

    With more cores & heat, one has to wonder if the two are going to remain so close in performance


    280 = 39200 sq mm of cooling surface
    360 = 43200 sq mm of cooling surface [+4000 sq mm (+10%) over the 280]

    I put the CLC 360 on the system that I put on the bench plate which came with the Z390 Dark.
     
    I'm running a 4770K @ 4.2GHz 1.27VCore and temps almost hit 80-90. Is that normal for the CLC to hit such temps when CPU does some heavy lifting? Was not expecting very low temps but of course also not expecting it to ever hit 80-90's on a 4770K.
     
    Might try and do a stress test with the same settings and the CLC 280 on the 4770K to see if there is really any difference at all. Ambient temp was 18-22~ and also a few fans on the motherboard bench plate
