Is this possible ? O.o.

If its possible should i buy a fan for the heatsink? Would it be a better one than the fan that came with the heatsink? My temps - 8350 4.4Ghz 1.385 - ~50*C When gaming. Stressing it just flashes to 55, 60 *C.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I'd suggest you retire your current heatsink and something new, 212x, evo :)  hell even a hyper t4

I dont have money for that :(

Modding new fan could be option but answer to question is no. 3rd party fans have standard shape and size. Your cooler doesn't meet those standards.

Strap a fan to it with cable ties if they don't fit.

Ghetto

 

Exactly! If you can't afford a new heatsink right now, you probably don't care that much for the looks.

 

Buy a 80mm or 92mm fan, some tape/string/bracket/(thick)rubber elastic and put it there. However, only do this if your fan died or something. Your CPU temps are high most likely due to other factors such as heatsink itself, thermal paste, airflow, etc than the fan itself.

 

Good luck.
