You really can't do much with a stock cooler, best bet is to get a good aftermarket one. The Hyper 212 EVO is a good option. My current one is a Cryorig H7, also pretty decent. Also make sure not to over-volt your chip. 

Getting a new cooler would help, but the cpu is so old in the first place that it would just be better to buy a new cpu.

 

20 dollars more compared to what?

Ok I’ll look into it thanks I was on a budget when I built the computer and didn’t have money to buy a cooler but now I have enough that I have saved up

Ooooo are these the fun ones that would make some VRM fireworks if you leaned on them too hard?

 

@Sk-Kadin upgrade the cooler (honestly if you can get your hands on a Wraith that would treat you pretty well), and buy a few packs of these:  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835708011

 

Those little copper VRM heatsinks go on the mosfets your motherboard uses to control power delivery to your CPU.  Stick them on the chips that I've highlighted below, and make sure there is airflow in that area:

The power delivery that you have available frankly kinda sucks, so you're going to have to focus on keeping voltages as low as you possibly can.  Unfortunately you don't have Load Line Calibration available to keep idle load a bit more sane.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.

As in MSI 970a g43? If so do not put an fx8350 on that mobo, you will probably break it. That mobo has a very low quality power phase design, even with headspreaders on it will have trouble. With that mobo i wouldn't invest anymore, not even a cooler for your current fx4350, because you might end up with the surprise of it throthling due to the poor power delivery afterwards.

But it says it is suppose to support overclockingover locking

"Support overclocking" just means the associated settings in the BIOS are unlocked / user-editable, and has little relation to the issue of support overclocking well (e.g. sufficient VRM/MOSFET cooling; sufficient number of power phases for clean power delivery, etc).
