If it's a stock heatsink then no. If it's another heatsink you used there might be an AMD bracket in the box.

It's an aftermarket cooler, but its really old and I dont have the box or any other parts that came with it if there were any.

no it won't. If I were you I would buy a heatsink from other producers. Like the CoolerMaster 212 EVO or Scythe Mugen 4. its better and it's cheap!

Then no, if you don't have the AMD bracket it won't work.

Would a Cooler Master Hyper T4 work?

 

Would be better than the stock box cooler, yes. 

 

Would the stock cooler be enough?

 

If you're not overclocking the FX, yes. But I've heard they can be loud. It's better to get something aftermarket that will do a better job of keeping it running cool and run much quieter - like the T4 you mentioned.

The T4 Just reduces noise the T4 would not be fully used but the Stock cooler is enough for GFX card  :)
