The Hyper 212 Evo is more then capable of handling an OC of 4.2GHz on the A10. I have used one successfully on an FX-8320 running at 4.2GHz.

Based on the info you provided, one of the best budget heatsink/coolers to buy for approx. $40 is the CM Hyper 212 Evo.

For any socket or cpu combo the universal coolermaster hyper 212 is the best cooler to use in almost all cases for no overclocking, to light overclocks. So I would say get the hyper 212 evo, as it is at the upper range of your budget, and is one of the most recommended cpu coolers on the market.

My regular processing with no overclock is 3.8ghz with overclocking of 4.2ghz, would the hyper 212 EVO still work out for that?

Anyone who says an Evo-212 Hyper cannot fit on a FM2 had better check their mechanical ability. I have 2 Asus A85-V Pros from Asus with 2 A-10 / 5800k AMD processors on the boards, which are FM2 sockets and they fit and work just fine with the Hyper 210 Evo. Oh. They are clocked to 4.3 GHz and run at a cool 29 to 32 Celsius. So, for those of you that CAN'T seem to fit them on your boards, I would suggest getting a technician (a.k.a.) IT professional to fit one on for you. They really do fit. The X-harness folds two ways for those of you who don't know how to work them. If it doesn't fit the one way that means you have the X-harness in backwards. So read the instructions if you think it doesn't fit.
