I have spent hours trying to find a cooler for my AMD A10-5800K Cpu. It's paired with MSI's mid size case (TC-128) and an ASRock FM2A75M-DGS Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard.

The stock heat sink's dimensions are 65x75mm (LxH) and the fan is 70x70mm, which i extremely small for high performance coolers. I have extra room vertically but only about 10mm horizontally (on each side) because both of the RAM slots are filled.

Considering the Scythe SHURIKEN Rev.B Scythe (AM2, AM3+, and FM1 should all work with FM2). But I'm not even sure if the Shuriken is small enough for this build.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks
 
Solution
Get this all in one liquid cooler for 35$ and just put the radiator on the rear 120 mm mount

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120M 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($34.99 @ Newegg)

Had my dimensions mixed up its the length that needs to be about 80mm max. Pretty difficult to find.

Turns out most heat sinks with a 92mm fan and a AM2, AM3, AM3+ or FM1 socket fit this build. I went with the LOGISYS Computer AC2200 92mm Hydro CPU Cooler. It cools well and is quiet and only cost me 15 bucks. Doesn't have a 'cheap' feel to it either. Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
