What are you using right now?My 3700x is running at about 82c during gaming. I am looking into a good 240mm aio soon but for now, is 81c fine for the 3700x?
Side note, what is a good 240mm aio for no more than $110?

Do you have fans in the front of the case? With a case like that you should get at least 2 fans. Maybe consider getting s better cooler, but try getting fans in the front of your case firstStock cooler. My case is definitely starved for oxygen. Since I upgraded to the Deepcool Matrexx 70 case, my gpu temps have gone up by 6c. So my plan is to put a decent 240mm aio on top to at least provide negative air pressure.

What is your motherboard? Probably bios problem like the 3600 and maybe you will have to wait for a new bios realese. I am getting 45-50c at idle and 75-80c at full load with noctua cooler and r5 3600. Still 82c wont damage your cpu and its fine so dont waste money for aio just for that wait for new bios and the temps will come down.
There is very little clearance in front panel, so the fans are not able to bring in much air. Plus, my 980ti is overclocked and puts off a lot of heat, more than my old 290x ever did. So my stock cooler for the 3700x is collecting hot air from my gpu. I have the Asus Tuf X570-plus wifi. Mobo is amazing but there are a few updates for it. I heard they hinder the performance though, so I'm a little reluctant to do it.Unless it's like 35c in your room, those temps are pretty concerning. Quite the contrast from the claimed temps of 63c. Which mobo is this for and why would the case be starved of air with all those fans ? Or do you just have it tucked away in a cabinet/enclosure ?

how loud is the Castle 240 aio?My new build included the Matrexx 55 rgb. Came with 3 fans in the front and one for the rear. I added the Castle 240 pro aio. the temps are great. The air flow is great. They are correct might be a bios issue. Good Luck.
