Looking to upgrade CPU heatsink fan

[Mr.Funkii]

Wanting to upgrade my stock heatsink as it really isn't doing a good job keeping my CPU (AMD FX-8120) cool, my case at the moment is too small for watercooling (Cit Vantage Case) and was hoping you guys could direct me to a few heatsink fans that'll help keep the processor nice and cold.

p.s. the motherboard that is being used is a Asus AM3+ M5A78L-M LX V2 MATX

Are you planning on overclocking it or run stock? Your case is only 7.25" wide so it is going to limit what cooler you are going to get.

 

[Mr.Funkii]

Just to run stock, not into overclocking components yet.

Well the Yet part is part of the equation, though looking at your components, you're probably not going to be running much of an OC if at all on that board. I don't know much about the smaller cpu coolers but this one is pretty good.
