What can beat it in the $100-110 Price range?

This is one of the best for Ryzen where the heat source isn't at the center of the IHS.

You lost all your credibility when you said the Hyper 212 is trash.

You'd literally have to build it yourself?

Even then, the RGB components would increase the cost dramatically.

Checking the all-knowing three wise camels, the couple AIOs that I checked prices seem to match their historical low when they first listed them at a "launch discount" so nothing special in terms of discount.

These still are the best AIOs for performance within their price class even at MSRP. It's a minor but noticeable step up from the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II line.

If you see someone complaining about the cooler being bad because the entire AMD CPU's IHS is not covered by the cooler, completely disregard their opinion. This is by design and does improve the performance over covering the entire IHS, however counter-intuitive it may feel. Or just kind of in general complaining about the performance, you can look up reviews of this AIO's performance.

Very good cooler, got it when it first came out. Only gripe is mounting it can be a bit difficult.

The 5700X3D Generates very little heat and you can't overclock it so honestly you'll probably be fine with the 240mm or 280mm. If you really want to go crazy you can go with the 360 for complete overkill. One thing you have to remember is that top mounting your radiator in the R5 has a 55mm thickness limit at the top. The arctic freezer 3 is 63mm thick, It doesn't look like there is a front thickness limit but you'll have to remove all your 3.5 inch bays if you want to mount it in the front.

I think your Hyper 212 is probably fine so I dont think you should even bother.

I picked up the Redragon HL360 ARGB Liquid Cooling System last week for $59.99 from Amazon. It currently has a extra 10% off. This price is for prime members only. I haven't put my new PC build together yet so I can't comment on how good it works.

IMO (which AIO Stans hate) no one should buy anything smaller than a 280mm, preferably 360mm (or 420mm).
Anything that can be cooled by even the best 240mm AIO will be perfectly fine on a $35 Passive Assassin or Sprint 120 cooler, that has fewer points of failure and is a simple fix if needed.
(Rule of thumb doesn't apply to mITX builds, do what you gotta do.)

I cant believe you can get a decent 360mm AIO for 90$ now. Prices have fallen so much compared to just a few years ago.

While it's doable the hassle of getting 360mm AIO in Define R5 is not worth it. Pick up the 280mm. If you have the windowed case you can go for RGB models but given the era of that case and the fact that the Refine series was built with silence in mind the black on is your best bet.

Also Hyper 212 is trash and you would likely get some better boost going to this AIO thought the CPU itself does not demand too much cooling.

Probably not for you, but yes the 5700x3d can be tweaked (overclocked) in combination with proper mobo and sufficient knowledge. Still won't need to much cooling.
