What is your budget? If you do look for a liquid cooler, you will need one which supports the AM3+ socket, which is what your processor uses.

I once did the unthinkable, back many headphones ago...

I split an audio split, again

It would be a better option to go for a air cooler as most budget or low cost AIO's don't perform as well as medium/large range of air coolers. If you want a decent 120mm cooler the H80 i would be a good option.

The problem is a cheap all in one water cooler will perform the same or worse thermally as a similar priced air cooler, so unless you can’t fit the tower cooler in your case, it makes 10x more sense then a cheap AIO.

Cheap and Liquid just don't go together, I suggest you go air.

 

Any decent Liquid cooler will cost at least $70.

I get what folks are saying, but I ran a Coolermaster AIO on my FX-8350 for YEARS, overclocked to 4Ghz and never had a single thermal issue.  And the AIO was a 120mm, single fan, thin radiator one.  Equivalent to the current CoolerMaster MasterLiquid Lite 120 they have now. 

I tried the same cooler on my Ryzen 5 1600 system and it just did not keep up.  Don't know why it worked so well on the FX-8350(which has a higher TDP) but it did.  I don't have thermal numbers on hand, and never compared to a good air cooler, but it was quiet and wran my CPU stable at 4ghz all day.  Exporting videos, playing games, etc.  

Ryzen 7 2700X , Asus Prime X570-Pro, Bykski CPU Block, AMD Vega 56, Barrow GPU block, g.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB PC2800, Dual EKWB SE360 Radiators, Corsair RM750x PSU. All in a Lian-Li PC011 Dynamic XL case.
