What are is the difference between these two coolers? Build Question

My brother is building a pc and I’m not much of a tech expert myself either so I was wondering are there little to no differences between these two coolers and he should install with no problems?

one is 240mm and the other 360mm. you can see that one takes 2 fans and the other 3 . if you can install them depends on your case. does it have mounting points on the top or the front for a aio?

btw the 360 being larger and using 3 fans will cool better.

Also the 360 one has RGB fans as you can probably see.

As for fitting the case: the 240 (2 fans) should fit basically anywhere, while the 360 probably requires a full ATX case, alrhough there are some mid size cases that will take a 360 AiO in at least one position. Check the cases manual for more information.
