I am trying to decide between the Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 and Arctic Liquid Freezer 240. Here is a description of my new build that I have, the since the AIO Cooler is one of the last pieces.

Computer build
---------------------
Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero
Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000
SSD drive: Samsung 960 EVO Series - 500GB NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD
HDD drive: Seagate 3TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive

they are practically same crap coming out of asetek factories.
Artic comes with 4 fans ans corsair comes with very loud fans.

as a side note 1, 60-80$ air cooler will do the same or better job at cooling while being quieter than those wannabe liquid coolers.
as a side note 2, if you don't have it already - 7700K is very bad buy at the moment due to coffee lake release in a few days.
as a side note 3, while it's excellent, the MB is way overkill

That sounds like a very biased answer.
Sometimes an AIO liquid cooler is better than the best air cooler out there. If you live in a humid, hot country where temperatures can reach 40ºC easily, no matter how good the air cooler is, it won't do much. But a liquid cooler can keep the CPU in check, if installed correctly. This is something I have tested myself.

I live 7-8 months with temperatures well above 30C and humidity above 60%.
AiO will not outperform a good air cooler at sane noise levels (fan speed below 1500RPM). if you want a jet engine sound - get H110. on the other hand, you can put 2000+ RPM fans on a tower cooler and yet have better results.
that will be correct for any half decent computer case.
asetek made AiOs (Corsair, NZXT, Arctic, EVGA, TT and many others) are cheap crap sold for a lot of money. you can be happy with yours. And yet, the only differences between corsair and arctic are packaging, warranty and fans. well the pump gen might be a bit different, but that does not make any real life changes. in performance tests, arctic beats corsair and the rest simply because it comes with 4 fans. a push-pull gives a (very) few degrees. ooh.. and arctic is usually priced much lower due to the lack of "brand" tax.
