Install more fans via 3 pin splitters? (all 4 connectors on motherboard taken)
Reapply thermal paste?
Resort to liquid cooling?

the a50 is OK, but you need better

Thanks for the response. Your suggestions look good, however, I think I am going to go with the Noctua NH-D14, as it appears to be the best HSF available at this time.
That is unless anyone on here can suggest a better one?

Hyper 212+ is a great cooler if your on a budget.

Hyper 212+ and Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste is the best option when you're on a budget.

Your MoBo has 3 fan pins? seriously? mine has only one for CPU and another for case fan.

My mobo has 4. 1 cpufan and 3 sysfans, I have 2 200mm case fans and a 140mm exhaust, in addition to the A50 fan. Its a good thing Noctuas come with a y splitter. Budget HSF's are no good to me with this OC, i'm gonna need the noctua to get my cpu temps down to low 60's under load (i hope)
