Cooler for 3700X overclock?

Hey guys!

 

I have my 3700X OC'd to 4.2 GHz with 1.275V/LLC3 (drops to 1.206V during P95 SmallFFT). During Prime95 loads, temps go up to 93 degrees. This is uncomfortably warm obviously

 

I definitely need to upgrade my cooling from the Wraith Prism, any suggestions? I'm up for anything, but ideally something pretty cheap.

Wow! That's a great price! 

 

Any RGB recommendations?

honestly both, there isn't a general cooling subforum.

 

Is there any AIO that would perform well here? Especially considering the NZXT H510 has mediocre airflow

If there are any RGB options, would you mind linking them? As long as they don't perform worse, depending on the price, I might get it. I like the look of the Wraith Prism so I don't really want to sacrifice RGB if I can

How would this compare to something like an NH D-15?

 

i like AIOs because they don’t take up much room on the motherboard,  but I sort of worry about leaks.
 

this cooler looks great, but if you had to choose would you go for the air cooler you suggested or this AIO?

I personally would prefer to stick with the air cooler as it is a pretty decent option, considering the price. it can cool an overclocked 10980xe if you so need (albeit a bit hot), here is how it stacks up compared to other coolers:

Yeah it looks great! Colors aren’t bad either.

 

ill probably get that and an RGB strip. Curious tho, should I completely take out the motherboard from the case to swap the cooler, or can I just do it without removing the mobo

pretty sure there's a cutout at the back of the motherboard, you should be able to install it without removing the motherboard.
