I'm upgrading my 11700K to a 14700K and see that it runs hot. I'm wanting to go ahead and get a 320mm aio cooler. Any recommendations on a quiet one that's good? Wanting to not spend more than $150 for it. Thanks!

By far the most important is that it has a coolant temperature sensor and does fan control based on the coolant/water temperature and not the actual CPU temperature. CPU temperature will fluctuate a load depending on load, but coolant will take a long time to get to equilibrium. If you get an AIO without coolant sensor, you'll get annoying very rapid fluctuating and high fan speeds, even when coolant is 'cold'.
