Guide Budget AiO

Buy Deepcool AG620, if you want something to keep CPU cool for cheap. For aesthetics as well, look at CM, MSI or Deepcool, they have AIOs under 7k. If possible look for Arctic options, considered great.

FYI, my friend is using AK400 for 5800X3D & I'm myself using AK400 for 9800X3D (although with UV). Unless you buy an Intel CPU that can consume 250W, you don't need an AIO for cooling, air coolers are enough.

Can we stop promoting 2-3k rs coolers for a 45k cpu please, i know we can get away with those.. but every often or so you are met with a scenario like shader building or something where its better to have a better cooler.

AG620 should be the bare minimum if you have budget constraints.. otherwise I think it's wise to invest in something better.. most AIO's now have a 5-6 year warranty. They've become fairly cheap and premium brands like Noctua have lifetime bracket support.

I think it makes sense to spend 1 times on a good cooler.. a 45k cpu should be matched with atleast a NHD15 level cooler imo.
