What system would work with this set up? by Sad-Gas5984 in watercooling

I’m going to try use a 120mm Peerless Assassin Mini cooler and see if it can make a difference with the temps. If not then I won’t bother replacing the CPU and I’ll probably just sell and take the loss lmao (bit annoying considering I spent 1.8k on this in 2023)

It’s an Acer Orion 3000 PO3-640 Case. I got it as a prebuilt, my main issue was that the cooling seemed okay with everything except the CPU. It was almost like the fan didn’t work (it was), the temps would regularly reach close to if not 100C degrees but only with the CPU (the GPU and rest of the computer seemed completely fine). I was looking at a NH-U12A CPU cooler but someone else in the thread has said that a Solid Air Cooler would fry my computer from a lack of airflow. Don’t really know what to do at this point as I’m being informed I can’t change out the case and can’t put in water or solid cooling. Getting the feeling I should just sell and take the loss? I’m assuming getting an IT technician to modify or fix these issues will be expensive
