Advice with fans

[topiassalakka123]

I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which has done a great job cooling my FX-8320, but i have thought of replacing the stock fan. Is it worth it, and which one should i get? I thought of replacing it with a Corsair SP120. Idle temps with stock fan: 40C, gaming: 50C, Prime95 (in-place FFTs): 61C

It's not worth it replacing the fan in my opinion, for a better performance in terms of cooling you could add a second fan or get another CPU cooling unit.

Could i get the SP120 and use the stock as a pull fan? Or should i just go nuts and get a closed loop liquid cooler?

Your temps are fine. Idle temps could be lower but i've seen this kind of bvehaviour with AMD. The stock fan is not bad. You could replace it but it wouldn't improve performance much.
