APU cooler A10-7860k

Hello, first of all i would like to thank you in advance.
English is not my first language so forgive me if i make any mistakes.

I just bought an A10-7860k with a GA-F2A88XN-WIFI mini itx mobo.
My intention was to make a "portable" pc for work, movies and a bit of gaming..

As soon as i open the processor i was very dissapointed with the cooler. It's just a chunk of aluminium with a crappy red fan on top, it just reminded me the old athlon x2 coolers.

I know the APU is just 65w but i truly think that the cooler is not suited for that, specially since i live in a place that gets as hot as 36 ºc to 40ºc outside in the summer.

I've been reading a lot about coolers these days and everybody recomends the 212 evo, I'm a fan of scythe myself and haven't tried any product of cooler master.

All those pieces have to fit in a MINI-ITX INNOBO PANZER and tbh i was looking for a good cooler maybe a little smaller than the evo, i discarded water cooling since i will have to travel with the pc and i don't wanna risk leaks, any suggestions?

Thanks again.

First, I've never know a AIO liquid cooler to leak. But that aside...
The Cooler Master Hyper TX3 is still one of my favorite low cost coolers for APUs and other low wattage CPUs. It snaps right on the AMD retention bracket w/o having to add or remove any hardware. I've got one now on my 95W Intel Q9550 OC'ed to 3.4 GHz. Stays cool and is quiet.

I seriously doubt that the stock cooler will give you any problems. But if you feel it is inadequate, that is one way to go. Buying a 125W AMD stock cooler from somewhere like ebay is another option: http://stores.ebay.com/originalheatsinkstore/AMD-Heat-Sink-Fan-/_i.html?_fsub=19943570

Thanks a lot for the answer, i know that liquid cooling should not leak, but i would have to travel around 1100km sometimes with the computer and the roads aren't as good as i would like them to be, that's the reason why i was afraid. I think i'm gonna try my fx-8120 cooler with the apu and check the temps after heavy gaming
