stock cooler is making much noise and around 5500 rpm at idle

hyper 212 not available at my place , gone for tx3

now since it has 92 mm fan compared to 120mm it will have more rpm and hence more noise.

Can i replace 92mm fan with 120 mm fan ?

Depends how hot the PC will get, the PC being in a 35C environment isn't going to help, you can always turn the fan down in your BIOS to tone the noise down but then you're going to face possible overheating. I would just use the PC with the side off, that way its going to help out on cooling and you'll be able to turn the fan down a bit to prevent noise

A 120mm fan will not fit no, check the airflow in your case, I know the 8350's get hot but it should not be 5500rpm at idle unless somethings wrong, maybe take your CPU heat sink off and change the compound

have already purchased tx3 , have used the company given thermal paste , my room temp is almost 35 C plus. i am just worried how noisy the tx3 will be after install so i m thinking of any how attaching 120 mm fan because it will be definitely silent
