MEh...
In short Shrimp would mod the case if need be to sport a better cooling solution (opinion <---- )

The killer is the $$ needed to be spent. D14 is a great cooler.
But
If I was really to school you properly, You'd be running a custom loop with no less than a 120.3 rad, decent pump, Nice little res perhaps some case lighting and a pricey water block for superior heat transfer from that chip......
There's a reason why I started de-lidding these cpu's.... lol. AMD has some hot running stuff. Well not that it runs hot for say, but rather that super low TDP threshold. Keeping Phenom II chips UNDER 50c both at the core and socket is by no means an easy task.
To do this right, you'd have to find a much larger case, get lots of decent fans and a custom loop.

dude...
Coolermaster 430 elite
The H100i "should" fit that case. Rad mounted topside on the inside. Looks like 120.2 fans on top??
Push fans up, 2 more fans on top to pull, would be a good set up.

True, but H100i won't match the D14 and we're talking about ~50$ less which the OP can use for fans to improve his air flow. Ofc, if there was room in ur budget for a custom loop that would be your best bet for the clocks u want but, personally, I would go for the Noctua since it's cheaper and it will perform better than the H100i.

Kids only learn once HAH!
well, looks like sub 3.8ghz. THe D14 might do it, But I'd be really sure there's a lot of case flow. That cooler needs as much air flow you can throw at it. (holds true for any air cooler I suppose)
You can try the iPPC series of Noctua. Hook em on a fan controller so u can set the desired RPM, I would recommend a NZXT Sentry 3

You do have the option of saving moneys you know.....
The only hard part is the dated hardware.
The Hyper 212 is going to be a decent choice, but remember the case is stuffy. You might not do any better than you are right now at 3.6ghz.
This 1100+ is going to require more voltage in turn needing lower temps.
volts go up, temps MUST go down.

The M5A78L-MLX V2 has a 3x1 VRM with no heatsink!

The Noctua comes 'with' probably the best fans in the market. To change defeats the purpose of a very good Noctua cooler. If you don't like Noctua fans then don't get a Noctua cooler.
