Your ASRock B550M Pro4 setup is solid, but upgrading to the B550 Extreme 4 could offer better RGB options and improved cooling. The NZXT X72 is a strong contender for keeping temps in the ideal range. If you're looking for a more affordable path, water or air coolers won't make much difference for you. The Arctic Vrezier 50 is also a decent choice. Overall, it should be fine to maintain stable temperatures, but consider the performance boost if you're planning future upgrades.

The extreme4 seems to perform better overall, so if you can afford it, maybe it’s worth it. However, I don’t see a need to upgrade the board just because you already have a solid setup—it works fine for you (except for your RGB requirements). For cooling solutions, you might find cheaper options like Scythe Fuma 2 or Noctua NH-U12s Redux instead.

I was considering adding RGB RAM and then having more RGB options. With the motherboard, I could pass the cables. Let me verify the coolers.

Never suggest purchasing a second-hand AIO, as its condition is unpredictable.

RGB RAM functions without needing a specific motherboard, but if your board lacks an RGB header or pin, the RAM will still display colors using its built-in software. For Corsair systems, you’ll need to use the included GSKILL software.

I don't believe upgrading to a slightly improved motherboard is worthwhile, as the benefits are minimal. Opt for a fresh air cooler from Noctua instead—it offers excellent performance without the complications and dangers of a refurbished AIO.

It looks like the system is reporting no RAM detected. Please reach out for an RMA process. Their software seems to have a clear issue with this message, and the RAM functionality appears normal otherwise. The RGB display is also working correctly.

I don't understand the differences between these two coolers.
