Should I replace my AIO?

Sorry I was a little vague, my temps are actually in the 60s. I'm aware those temps really aren't dangerous or anything, but it seems high to me with a 240 AIO at only about 95 watts of output (as measured by HWiNFO). The Cooler Master AIO has a thin radiator(27mm), while the Arctic has a much thicker one(38mm), so I figured it might make a difference. The Cooler Master also uses the AMD tab mount things with thumb screws, which (at least for me) is really hard to get a good mount without sliding around like mad.

I would not worry about it, some CPUs run hotter than others. Even so that is a completely normal temperature. If it does concern you you could set a more agressive fan curve or replace fans

I have a Cooler Master 240mm Lite in push/pull in the front of a Phanteks P350X, and I recently upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 5 2600x, running at stock speeds/voltage/etc. I'm seeing temperatures that seem fairly high to me, in the low-mid 60s, under 75% and above load, with the fans and pump at full speed. My question is, are those temps somewhat normal, or should I get a better cooler, probably the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240mm?

If I'm reading correctly youre seeing 75c under load? That is fine and not a concern, Even if you were going to replace one 240 AIO ~=~ another 240 AIO unless one has better fans.
