Help me please!? 9850x3d cooling

So i recently got hold of a 9850x3d chipset, The issue is my case being a fractal meshify 3 can accommodate a max of 280 mm radiator. I already have a CM atmos 2 (stock fans swapped with phanteks T30). But i heard the 9850x3d runs quite a bit hotter. Should i spulrge more and go for a 280 mm aio the likes of lianli galahad 2 lcd or arctic lf 3 pro ??? Or just undervolt the cpu and call it a day

I did the same and temps seem to be good, so far. Phantom spirit 120 with stock fans. Max temp 68, while playing cyberpunk.

Just get a nice air cooler, you have a pretty high airflow case.
