I have both the AMD FX8350 processor and AMD A10 5800K processors installed in 2 different systems; while I am relatively impressed with the AMD stock cooler for the FX processor, the CPU cooler for the A10 is however disappointing; and this is made worse by the slim and relatively poorly ventilated case the A10 is in. I do not have the clearance for most aftermarket coolers in that case and also do not wish to tackle the extra hassle of custom install hardware (I want to use the stock AMD backplate and clips). Is it possible to purchase the stock AMD FX cooler, since I know it will fit on the FM2 motherboard? I will be running the CPU at it's stock speed and will not overclock.

Thanks.

Check your favorite auction site. ;) Back in the socket 939 days I used to buy FX HSFs for use with lessor CPUs.
