I think you guys are asking a lot out of 60mm fans. In my experience they don't do a whole lot and certainly aren't going to compensate for a very hot CPU in a tiny case.

It'll definitely better for your A8-3820.....the Gelid is rated for 65W CPU, but it is too small for the A8-3820 with 4x cores. It's might be okay for the less than powerful A6-3500 and other lesser CPU's.....
I'm not sure how good are the included case fans. You might want to consider replace it with lower dBA and higher CFM case fans......
Thanks blurray. The case is just 70m high and i think the max cpu cooler it can take is 52mm or something. Are there any better coolers at about 50mm? Also would it be possible to use something like the Scythe Shuriken rev B which is 58mm (with the 25mm thick fan) with the fan off and just the heatsink? that should bring the height down to about 33mm and i can add 2 additional fans to compensate.
The case came with 60mmx60mmx15mm and these seem to be pretty scarce as all i can find are 60mm x 20mm fans..
