I own an AMD A10 7870k running at 4,5 Ghz. I'm keeping the original heatsink but plan to upgrade to a better one. Are there any suitable heatsinks available that can effectively cool my CPU? Or should I stick with what I have?

The temperatures are quite suitable for a 0.5GHz OC. I wouldn't be concerned.

The device reaches its limit at 72°C due to TJ Max, which triggers throttling by reducing clock speeds to prevent overheating and maintain performance. I recommend shutting down the overclock until you identify a cooler; your PC will likely run better if the CPU is genuinely throttling because of additional heat from the overclock. A budget cooler would be a good choice—something like a cheap Cryo H7 or Cooler Master 212 Evo would suffice.

The temperatures are pretty acceptable for a 0.5GHz OC. I don't have to be concerned. This setup seems better suited for an Intel CPU rather than an AMD APU or APU. The person asking might be limiting performance at those temperatures.

They're quite good temps for a 0.5GHz OC. I wouldn't worry.
It would be for an intel cpu, not that amd apu. The OP is likely throttling at those temps.
what do you mean by throttling? am i giving too much pressure to the CPU?
i tried overclocking because there is an official website in my country that stated the original hfs is good for OC
i bought APU to minimize my budget actually. lol
My budget for hfs is about 30$-40$

The maximum temperature for that CPU is 72°C. When it reaches that point, the CPU reduces its speed to prevent overheating. That's the straightforward explanation.

Running the CPU at its highest temperature for extended periods isn't very effective. I'd suggest lowering your overclock by a bit until it stabilizes.
