Ok I have watched so many videos about air vs liquid. But seriously what is the best solution for the threadripper 1920x overclocked to 4.2 ghz. I don’t have the money to be guessing but my air cooler is so loud and only keeps my cpu at 69 degrees at max settings. I would like to go to a AIO cause I don’t have the budget for a custom loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

69 degrees at max load for a Threadripper is decent, CMIIW.

don't go aio on threadripper, TL;DR it's doesn't have the thermal capacity you'd get with a larger reservoir in a custom loop

69c in something like a stress test is totally fine. Nothing at all to worry about there, you can likely turn the fan profile down in BIOS to something like silent or quiet mode, and the temps will go up a bit, but in normal everyday work loads if your seeing 69 in a stress test, you would likely see ~55-60 in normal usage with the fans turned down, which is more than fine.
