I have a athlon 860K with a stock cooler
when I did cinebench cpu test I also checked the temps with HWMonitor
it reached 100.1 degrees!!!! so I quit the benchmark immediately.
I was looking for a good aftermarket cooler but since I'm new I don't know much
can you guys help me out?

I do know alot of people reccomend te 212 EVO cooler master but on their site fm2+ is not listed in the compatible list.

fm2 is though but I don't know if I still can do it.

can you guys give me any advice or tell me if I can use the 212 EVO
if not another good cooler?

thanks in advance

"Versatile all-in-one mounting solution supporting the latest Intel® LGA 1366 / 1155 / 1151 / 1150 and AMD FM2 / FM1 / AM3+." from cooler masters site

FYI AM2 and AM3 and AM3+ are the exact same size and the cooler mounts are the same. the same is true for the FM2 and FM1 and FM2+.
long story short, it is supported

the issue now is will it fit in your case, it is a really tall cooler. I cannot put my side panel on my case is too narrow.
measure twice cut once.
