What heatsink would you suggest for a AMD APU A10 6800K?

Hi

I've had a constant problem with overheating since I built this rig, even though I'm using an Artic Freezer 7 pro heatsink. I only overclocked using the motherboards built in overclocking tools. I eventually reinstalled it and am running it without overclocking. It typically runs at 40C whilst doing nothing. When I start running multiple programs I get the asus sensor warning that its exceeding 60C. If I try to convert anything using VSO it always exceeds 60C immediately and often crashes as a result.

My case doesn't support water cooling, and the PSU is at the top of the case. Without buying a new case I wondered what people would suggest as the best heatsink/cooling option for my set up?

I was considering this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-080-AK&groupid=701&catid=2330
Akasa AK-CC4008HP01 Venom Voodoo CPU Cooler and was just after a second opinion please.

CLC cost more, make more noise, don't cool as well and are not as dependable as good air coolers.

What is the CPU clearance of the case you have now and what is the maximum you want to spend? £35.00 isn't a lot but there are good coolers in that range, but a few quid more increases the choices.
Vengeance RAM is rather tall at 44mm .. meaning it is 47mm above motherboard.

Id try re-seating and re-pasting your heatsink. You shouldn't be overheating with that HSF, unless you're running silly volts through it. Make sure you get as thin a coat of TIM as possible on there and secure it with firm, even pressure across the CPU.

Also, make sure there's good airflow through your case, don't want to be re-circulating warm air as that won't help things either. What case you got?

What is your case airflow / temperature of air going into CPU cooler compared to room temp? What graphics card are you using?
