I have an Asus A88XM-A motherboard. The processor is having heat issues, so I want to get something better. Any recommendations?

Some stuff that says its compatible with this MOBO doesn't seem like it would be, such as Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO which is highly recommended.
It has like an X Docking thing, but I don't even see where that would attach to my MOBO.

Photos of Cooler Master:




The one I am using currently has a locking clasp of sorts. It came with my AMD A10-6800K processor.

Oh isee in that gif, you completely remove that plastic bracket that came attached to the mobo to install this ones mount in that place. Makes sense.

Yep, yep.

Also need to remove the motherboard backplate and install the Hyper 212 EVO backplate.
