I Want to buy a good cpu cooler for the a6 6400k so i can overclock it but reviews on the Vulcan say you could have problems depending on where the socket is on the motherboard I am not sure how to figure this out because i do not have the parts . I was planning on using this motherboard http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A75%20Pro4-M/ any help is appreciated.

I would either get something from Noctua or some prefilled wc from Corsair. Should do what you want it too^^

 

You would have to check if you have room for the different ones, i know everything Noctua makes is GOLDEN. I had a small one from Noctua on my 775 and it was really really good. 22 idle and 37 load on that :)

best bet would be a air cooler because in the vulcan there isn't much room to go watercooled

 

the basic backplate that comes with the board will do fine for most aftermarket coolers

 

it has will  take  coolers up to 165mm  if you don't install a side panel fan

Well i have to use an air cooler because there is basicly no rad space unless i mount a 120 in the front which i do not really want to do. I would like something that is relativly quiet and size only matters if it gets in the way of the side panel which i am not sure about
