If you need more processing power you should upgrade.

Just like in case of Intel's NetBurst/Pentium 4, making lots of heat per work is only thing Bulldozer is actually good at.

Any overclocking will only make it fast even bigger space heater. (like FX9590)

 

Though cooling per noise could be improved.

While Bulldozer stock coolers are vastly superior in cooling power to Intel's stock HSFs (because of lot less efficient CPUs) those are still rather small and light compared to any third party coolers.

And unlike in water pipe coolers you can get really good cooling performance for very reasonable price and still without blocking DIMM slots or PCI-e slot.

Scythe Mugen 5 (Rev B for AM4 compatible mounting kit) doesn't cost much.

Especially if wanting good longer term reliability you have to pay really lot more from having water pipes in place of heat pipes.

I have an AMD 8350 CPU and I am thinking about replacing the stock heatsink but i don't know what would be better a  water block for water cooling or a better heatsink  can you help me find the benchmarks for watercooling vs air cooling of the CPU

adding a better cooler will only improve temps and overclocking limits. if you don't plan to overclock and it isn't 30C outside there isn't any reason to change.

im probably going to overclock in the future so what would be better for the CPU water cooling or a heatsink is there a significant difference in temps

What's the GPU you have. Cause I know, FX can be overclocked a pretty good chunk.

also, say I get Noctua NH-D15 or an EKWB EK-CoolStream SE 360 (Slim Triple) High-Performance Radiator with EK d5 pump, a reservoir, and an EK-Supremacy EVO water block would there be a significant temperature difference between the heatsink and the water cooling setup

seems a lil extreme, for that CPU, but I'm all about that. I approve if he can afford that.

I Want to get a cooler that to Overclock but i don't know what will be the best bang for my buck so I have an AMD 8350 and was thinking about getting a Noctua NH-D15 heatsink or a water cooling setup with an EKWB EK-CoolStream SE 360 (Slim Triple) High-Performance Radiator with EK d5 pump, a reservoir, and an EK-Supremacy EVO water block. would there be a significant temperature difference between the heatsink and the water cooling setup and which one should I get, I already have some fittings, tubing, and the radiator.

As long as it will fit in your case and you like the look of it, the D15 is a great cooler.  The other set up is much more expensive and complicated, but will provide better cooling.  If you are going for 100% performance the water system will allow for a higher OC, but the D15 is better for the money.

Get a decent water cooler 280mm, or 360mm radiator. The NH-D15 had a really hard time cooling my FX 8350 when you get close to 1.45v, not to mention that you need direct cooling on the VRMs when you overclock the FX and the NH-D14 blocks most of the airflow over the VRMs. I moved to the Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer 240 and it's keeping my FX 8350 cooled at 4.6GHz with 1.45v just below 67C on the socket, and 59C on the cores under stress testing. If you are really going to push for over 1.45v, go with 280mm so you get better headroom, but if you are going for over 1.5v, go for a custom loop or 360mm radiator.

No need. get a good 280MM AIO as @Rainbow Dash said, something like an H115i Pro (probably the best 280 AIO on the market, fight me Kraken fanboys), an EVGA 280 CLC or a Deepcool Castle 280 when those come out
