i have an asus m5a78l-m/usb3 with an fx 6300 processor. this motherboard does not have vrm heatsink so , i have purchased these heatsink to fit them on the mosfets

now, coming to the question. I know that the maximum core and socket temperature of fx 6300 is 62 degree and 71 degree celsius. Now, the socket temperature rises up to 65 degree and the core temperature rises to 60 degree. Is, this ok. or should i change the cpu cooler. Also, will adding the heatsinks onto the vrm reduce the socket temperature. i have this cooler.

should i change the cooler to

i am preferring this cooler over cm hyper 103 because i don't have to remove the motherboard backplate. or, anyone can refer other coolers where i dont's have to remove the motherboard backplate and it should be budget friendly. I may overclock in the future.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Better cooling haven't hurt anything. I have placed fans on every heat sink on the MB but I overclock heavily, You may not need as much if don't OC (much).
