I built my system last year on 15 December, I have
FX-8350 (not OC)
AsRock 990FX Extreme 4
Cooler Master K281 (case)
8GB Corsair RAM
ICEEDGE 400XT Cooler (http://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2013-12/7_210...)
SAPPHIRE HD 7850 2GB GDDR5
When I started playing BF3 about 3-4 months ago, I started seeing heating issues, the core temp was going to 69C. I researched and found that turning off AMD Turbo Core and changing the CPU cooler position from down facing to RAM facing dropped temps. (as I don't have vent at top panel of case).
Now when I play BF3 (with cool & quiet ON) the temps don't get above 45-50C. But I don't get good FPS (between 40-60).
But when I turn off cool & quiet then I get 60-90 FPS, and core temp is 55-59C. (I think for AMD processors the max core temp is 61C).
I'm from Jaipur and ambient temp at this moment is around 35C, which in hot days goes upto 42C.
I bought this deepcool cooler in 2000 INR (Indian rupees). I have used it for about 1 year now. A user on this forum suggested me the below

Now a guy is interested in buying this from me in 1000 INR. Should I sell it to him? Is this profitable? If yes then which cooler should I buy? I have heard Hyper Evo 212, 212X etc are better. Are they better than the cooler which I have at present?
I'll want to overclock in future (to about 4.2 or 4.5 GHz), kindly suggest me a cooler according to that.
PS: Kindly check my case (K281) before suggesting the cooler, because it's a mid tower case, I don't want to buy anything which doesn't fit in this case.

59 degress is normal under max load but if you want to get something better the 212 EVO is great as it has simular performance compared to some of the good water coolers out there.So how much temp will 212 EVO drop as compared to my current cooler? Any hint?
The 212 EVO will drop your temps to around 35 idle and 50 max i checked benchmarks btw. I would say just stick with your cooler.
But according to this my cooler and Evo 212 have difference of 8C. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=265...
Ok, If you want your pc to run cooler get it if you dont care stick with yours.
