so I found this really niche item I am seriously considering buying
http://youtu.be/-7bzNN3DnMY
its a completely passive cooler, no fan. The specs say it can only handle 95 watts, however people have overclocked it... I would really like to pair this with a AMD A-10... I would put it at full load for just gaming, without

Two questions, when a cpu is under load will it be below 100 watts? When at full load ,if I have just one fan blowing on it will the cooler be able to handle the cpu more safely?

You can considr this cooler


The wattage on the cooler refers to tha max tdp wattage processor it can cool

A10 have a tdp of 100w/65w depending on the model
For details refer

I would suggest u to go with a noctua nh-u14s cooler which is a quite cooler with great cooling helping u too achieve good clock speed

Costs around 80$


My personal opinion would be to go for a liquid cooler when spending above 50$ on cooler
