Heatsink for A10 5800K

[S Ray]

I have a second computer that is used for browsing, email etc. and some multitasking. It has an A10 5800K processor and the stock cooler. It was built 2 years ago.

Recently it started having pop ups saying that the processor was reaching 60c, not all the time but mostly when I had more than 2 windows open. I have added a side fan that blows on the processor, reapplied the thermal compound and cleaned it out well. I still get the pop up, but not so often.

My question is, is there an aftermarket cooler that connects the same as the original one that would be more efficient than the original, available at a reasonable price.

Thanks in advance for reading or commenting.

Almost any third party cooler will do better than the stock fans the CPU's came with.

Take a look at this page: Tomshardware CPU Coolers Page

Thank you for responding. However, I don't want to remove the motherboard. I want the aftermarket heat sink to install just like the original one.

I suppose I wasn't clear on what I need here. I want the after market heatsink to mount with the tabs and lever the same as the original. I only need it to be superior to the original A10 5800K. There is no gaming or overclocking involved here.
