What kind of budget do you have? If the money isn't an issue, then use a Noctua cooler. If you have a smaller budget, get a Hyper 212 EVO.

Why do you think your current cooler is failing? What kind of issues are you having?

This first.

I ran my 8350 on a Hyper 212 evo for a long time and it was really good. I didnt OC at all so Idk what kind of headroom youd have. But investing much more than the price of a hyper 212 on an FX platform isn't the best investment.

Have you tried reseating the block on the cpu?

Like someone said before Noctua, they make linus a fanboy of them

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
