I noticed that my A4-5000 (socket FT3 BGA) is running at 64 to 70 degress (Celsius) at idle (80 when playing games like Crysis 3 or Watch Dogs) and it hasn't any CPU fan, just a heatsink and a very bad thermal paste.
Do you know some CPU coolers for this socket? For the thermal paste I'm gonna buy some Arctic MX-4.
This is not a laptop but a M-ATX desktop (yeah that's strange, a mobile APU in a desktop).

Looks like there are no aftermarket coolers in that size. You could modify a cooler with similar dimensions and clearance, but had trouble finding much info into that.

My suggestion is to just buy a small fan and attach it to the heatsink with wire or something that can stand the heat. It does't have to look pretty :)
