I ordered an Arctic Freezer 7. Gigabyte did pursue
my support ticket questions and suggested a different
Zalman cooler which would have required pulling the
mb which I already had in place.

I specced this build to have some headroom just
in case I get back to simming Flight Simulator.
FSX is its final iteration. FS runs faster with multiple
cored CPUs so that is why I went with the latest
generation AMD APU CPU.

The Arctic cooler is only $25 and easily removed
so upgrading the cooler is an option.
