Would it be more worthwhile to go for a 120 or 240mm rad AIO or  would I be fine just sticking with as cheap aircooler like the Hyper 212?

If it where me I would stick with a 212evo, AIO's can be a pain, Its hard to tell if they are about to die and may put coolent all over your rig. If you where going to overclock then go for the AIO

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Air cooler Like Cryorig H7 will be plenty.

Why buy the unlocked version and not overclock it?

I have used aio and switched to air because they are just expensive pain in the ass and dont even offer better cooling dont be fooled except when you go fully custom there is no gain on aios just listen to me you may regret it later
