thank you every each of u for ur valuable comments and suggestion... CM hyper 212 evo, model no. 212e-20pk-r2 did the job for awesomely.... now on overclocking to 4gz my and lonh playing of high end games my temp goes to 44 deg max.
Stock cooler AMD is really awfula nd pathetic.. lot of vibrating sound and inefficient cooling...

CM cooler and arctic silver 5 thermal paste and arctic silver cleaning kit did a marvellous job... :D

THankyou all

I sugest you change to 2 intake and 1 exhaust to get some positive pressure in your case, you'll gather less dust like that and it will also cool better. what you're doing now is pulling more air out of your case on a higher speed then the air can enter.. but if you have more intake then exhaust you get more pressure in the case and components will cool better
(I was checking around in this post because I'm looking for an fx 8320 cooler and stumbled upon your reply)
