You'd normally expect a 360mm AIO to be sufficient for cooling a 14900K when gaming.

Did it always cool badly? I'd advise checking that it is working properly before replacement.

Got it in a package with CPU it's always run hot I have cleaned the pc removed the mesh for more air repasted the CPU nothing seems to work I think I need to sand aio back

What are the temps like in idle and light load?

I wonder if there's a problem, or it could be that your CPU is being automatically overclocked by the motherboard.
 
Are you using the latest motherboard bios and importantly have you enabled the default Intel CPU settings?
Done bios the last month and intel default settings same time and today taken all pc case mesh off to see if it was airflow just rule things out and run cinebench still very high temps 95 and hitting a 100 got to be aio
 
Contact frame ftw. I fitted one to my 12900kf last week. It shaved 9c off the temperature amazing difference for under a tenner.

This was going to be my next suggestion. I've had one fitted for a few years and it makes a substantial difference. 14900K's should have come with them by default they are that good and inexpensive.
