Your temps are fine and the cooler is much more likely to fail before the cpu. You're not going to get a significantly better 240mm AIO. Better fans may lower temps or noise.

Even if you can lower temps, the difference in cpu longevity is probably negligible -- like going from 20+ years to 25+ years. You might be better off getting better cooling for the motherboard if you're after longevity.

I own a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite ML240L. I am using the MPG X570 GAMING PLUS motherboard (AM4.) As for the case I have, it is a Thermaltake Level 10 Series GTS Snow Edition case. The top of the case can handle either a single 200 x 200 x 30mm fan or two 120 x 120 x 25 fans. The side panel can handle either the same single size fan or two 140 x 140 x 25 fans.

 

As for what I hate about the current cooler, the processor gets to the high 70s under a 90% load. I want a closed loop that can do better. 

 

I look forward to your responses.

EVGA has a new 360 CLC with very loud fans, but I'd recommend the Fractal Design Celsius S36 as it can be found at around $115 and then you can add more fans to it for push-pull.

Neither system fits, can't have three fans worth of CLC on the side or the top. Either a single 200 x 200 x 30mm fan or two 120 x 120 x 25 fans. The side panel can handle either the same single size fan or two 140 x 140 x 25 fans

Under a 90% load my Ryzen 3600X gets up to high 70 degrees Celsius. 

That seems pretty normal.
