I recently bought a PC with this motherboard, AM3 socket. I am having difficulties choosing the right cooling for the CPU, which is Phenom x4 960T.

I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm really baffled when it comes to sizes etc. Does the type of my motherboard restricts the size of cooling I can attach to the CPU?

I measured the size of the cooler and it's 80x80mm. Can I attach a larger module?

I want to change cooling since it's inefficient.

It looks like this:

EDIT: My case is 140mm width

This is a very good question - I can't tell. There's literally no information on it whatsoever. It's listed as "MSI CASE"

looks like this:
