Hyper TX3 and FM2+ question

[mojothehut]

hey all
So I'm not pleased with the stock cooler that came with my A10 6800k APU.
I'm looking for a cheap cooler that I shouldn't have to yank my mobo to install.

Looking at http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?category_id=1623&product_id=2922

Though it doesn't specifically say FM2, I've heard people say any AM3 cooler will fit?
Just wanted to double check with you guys before making a purchase.
It's going to be mounted on an Asus a88xm plus.

Your case doesn't have a CPU bracket access cutout on the motherboard tray?

Older case, so no.
Yea just being lazy... I've used that cooler in the past and would like to stick with what I know, sort to speak.
So if it can fit an FM2, Im game =)

Generally Socket 939/AM2/3/3+/FM1/FM2 uses the same mounting system, but it can differ from one cooler to the next.

As an alternative to the cooler you posted, take a look at the Arctic Cooling Freezer A30. It'll require you to dismount the motherboard, but its mounting system is quite simple. Should take 5 minutes tops.

I think it should fit. I use AM2+ cooler (OCZ Vendetta2) on my FM2 Athlon X4 (750K) system and it's doing a fine job, the chip is cool and stable even OCed.

Yea it will work just fine, every AM2/3/+ cooler will wok on FM1/2/+
