I'm currently using an air CPU cooler, but I've noticed my i7 14700K is often hitting 100 degrees Celsius. I've heard that an AIO cooler might be a better option, and I'm looking for recommendations. I'm hoping to find something aesthetically pleasing that won't break the bank, ideally in the $200 range, but I'm willing to stretch it up to $300 if necessary.

The Lian Li GA II Lite 360 Performance is a solid choice! It outperforms the Arctic Freezer III 420mm and 360 Pro in terms of both noise levels and max performance. Definitely worth checking out if you're aiming for a good balance between cooling and noise.
I wouldn't recommend going beyond the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 unless you're after brand prestige or fancy features like an LCD screen. It offers great cooling performance without the extra fluff.
I looked at the benchmarks, and it seems like a great option! Plus, it looks really sleek.
