Not sure if AMD A6 7400K naturally run hot but mine is hitting 72C with light loads. Looking for a good low profile aftermarket heatsink I can use. My case is an Antec ISK-300 which is kinda limited on space. I already removed the bracket part on top of the case to give me more room. I did see the Noctua heatsink but was looking for soemthign that could cool a little better?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
HELP! AMD A6 7400K

It is a bit high in temps but not dangerous. Having the onboard/iGPU makes it a bit higher than usual.
I was only doing windows updates to get it this hot..

This Zalman CNPS8900 Extreme looks interesting and won't break your bank. It's only 60mm tall so it should fit.
Seen some guys clear the Scythe Shuriken Rev. B ... they just have to modify where the power connector is.. My local Frys has it so I guess if it doesn't fit I can return it.
The Scythe Shuriken Rev. B barely fits but should work out really well.. not a whole lot of room for it to breathe up top but this cooler is MUCH larger than the stock cooler. The stock cooler is actually a coolermaster cooler (sticker on fan bottom proves it). I found the exact same cooler for $6.00... It's a pretty junky cooler that comes with it.
