Look for a CPU cooler that has a 95W TDP or over.
I would recommend it to have a TDP of 110-125W.
This way there's no way it can over heat as its does produce quite a bit of heat.
The CPU coolers that stand up are always the best because the fans on them are always facing towards the rear case fan to push the hot air away.
where as on a standard heat sink with the fan flat on top of the heat sink, they heat is blown to the side panel, which is pointless unless you have a side fan.
Hope this helps!

Im more interested to know what type of architecture is more efficient at cooling, one is vertical but the other one sits horizontally on top of the motherboard. horizontal one blows hot air back on top of the motherboard but the vertical one has the negative effect that heat has kinda have to travel longer distance to be cooled off... if you can understand what my brain just typed out
