My AMD FX 4300 is overheating even in normal usage (some internet browsing) CPU temp goes near 60 degree Celsius...my room temperature is also high ...
I am not planning to CO , but I wanna keep my CPU under 60 in full load.
Following are the CPU coolers available in my area , please recorded me the best.
I am confused because Deepcool has 4 heat pipes , while Coolermaster has 3 heat pipes , which costs only 200 Rs (3$) less.

Which one should I choose ?

1. Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO Cooling Fan Cooler
2. Deepcool ICEEDGE 400FS CPU Cooler with 4 Heat Pipes
3. DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 CPU Cooler with 4 Heat Pipes
4. Deepcool ICEEDGE 400XT CPU Cooler with 4 Heat Pipes


Please suggest ....

I have an old cabinet , its clean and has no space for front fan , but even if I keep the side-panel open , the temp only go down by 3-4 degree...
I am using cooler-master thermal paste... "V1" or something....

What are you using to monitor your temperatures? I recall that the FX series doesn't show temperatures correctly when using a whole bunch of CPU temp monitoring apps, go to the AMD website and download "Overdrive" first and tell us or printscreen the thermal margin. In addition, have you been overclocking or tinkering with the CPU voltage prior to this?

Edit: Give this a read

AMD Overdrive says "AMD Overdrive cant detect supported AMD chipset in this computer" .
I am using "ASRock N68C-GS FX" motherboard.

I used to OC my old Athlon processor. Its been just two weeks since I switched to my new AMD FX...
I just turned the OC mode to auto in bios before I switch to FX.
Now I just resetted BIOS to default settings , and now the CPU temp went down by 8 degree (it is now @ 52-54)!!!Thats massive !!
and in CPU-Z , the clock speed is frequently going up and down. It was staying always @ 3820 Mhz before , now it sometimes hits 1400Mhz.

But still in load , it reached 69 degree.... I need to cool it down.
Should I choose the Cooler-master 3 heat-pipe or DeepCool 4 heat-pipe cooler ?
1. Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO Cooling Fan Cooler
2. Deep cool ICEEDGE 400FS CPU Cooler with 4 Heat Pipes
3. Deep cool GAMMAXX 400 CPU Cooler with 4 Heat Pipes
4. Deep cool ICEEDGE 400XT CPU Cooler with 4 Heat Pipes

Omg that board is garbage that why you have so much troubles. You need new mobo. That mobo cant hold FX CPU it makes to much heat for it.
When you see that CPu hits 1400 mhz it is power save option called Cool and Quite from AMD.You can easy turn her off when ever you want to get in game buy going into windows Control Panel and Power Options and then you select High Performance Profile.
Anyway switch that mobo asap if you want lower temps and better performance from your CPU.

If you can get a new motherboard and the cheapest CPU colder you can between the two they will have a major effect for cooling.
If you need help choosing a motherboard tell me your budget and the best website got me to use to find out in your area

The larger Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 is the best one. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2696

Before you do go on getting a new cpu cooler, what is the computer case your using? Need to make sure that it'll fit and perhaps you can reorient the case fans to improve airflow. To help with the airflow, maybe you can post a picture here of your case with the side panel off and tell us which way the fans are pointing?

I am using an old case now. Which has no space front fan.
The case can hold a 145 mm cooler in it max. I have measured it.
I will buy Corsair Spec 01 next month.
But I have to use the current case for a few weeks at-least.

Please suggest me if the "larger is better" is always true ? then I will go for DeepCool
DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX S40
Deepcool ICEEDGE 400FS
Deepcool Iceedge 400XT

Or should I stick with brand - Cooler Master ?
Cooler Master Hyper TX3

Larger isn't always better, but did you at least read the review and the thermal delta at 150W? Believe me when I say that a TX3 EVO doesn't cut it for that CPU; same with most other small heat sinks.

Sorry , I did read the review - "DeepCool Gammaxx 400" you posted , the cooler is a bit taller for my cabinet.
This cooler is 155 mm taller , and my cabin can hold only upto 145 mm

Yes , and the link you provided was very good.
and I decided that I will buy "Deepcool Iceedge 400XT" .
It will suit my case , and it performs better than "Deepcool ICEEDGE 400FS" according to that site.
and "Hyper TX3 EVO" is a bit loud under load.
