Be Quiet is still a reliable choice
I replaced my AIO with this Be Quiet cooler for my Ryzen 7 5800X. It stays perfectly cool while remaining quiet.

Massive, high-performance and relatively quiet CPU cooler
This cooler proves effective on Ryzen 5 or 7 or iCore 5 CPUs drawing up to 150 or 170W max, but is insufficient at full load on higher-end or unlock processors (i7/i9/Ryzen 9) unless you cap power in the UEFI or via the operating system.
Big advantage: it allows the use of all DIMM slots, even with tall-profile RAM, thanks to its offset design. On the other hand, you have to settle for a single fan, which is fairly discreet except under heavy load.
No frills here: it's black aluminum without RGB, but this model is very well finished, supplied with paste and a screwdriver, and above all available for most sockets!
Here, I'm using it on a vintage build with an i7 4790 processor on socket 1150 drawing less than 100W, so the CPU ramps up under load in utter silence...
