Sufficient cooling for the fx-8350?

[nugget827]

Hi. I am in the midst of upgrading to a fx-8350 but realized that I do not have the correct mount for the heatsink that came with the 8350 as i previously had liquid cooling with a different mount. I was wondering that, after i buy thermal paste, if my old liquid cooling unit (Asetek 510LC, 12V and 25W, if it helps at all) that used to cool a fx-4300 would be sufficient for the 8350 in place of the heatsink that came with it. Thanks.

Perfectly capable of cooling an FX8350. Never a bad idea to check your temps after you get it up and running of course.

A better question would be which motherboard you have, because I wouldn't put an 8350 on anything but a 970 or 990fx chipset and wouldn't OC on anything but a 990fx. The 8350 is very power hungry and can burn your motherboard if you have the wrong one.
