What's the problem you are facing? I think all coolers having AM3/AM3+ socket compatability should fit.

Which cabinet do you have? In case you have a local zebronics/iBall cabinet, get NZXT Gamma + CM Hyper 212 EVO.

Well, most cpu coolers are at least 150mm high. What are your current temperaturers?

The width of the case is 200mm IINM. Height of EVO 212 is 158.something mm. What's the problem, exactly?

Import this: Noctua NH-C12P SE14 CPU Cooler - Newegg.com
Or this: Noctua NH-C14 CPU Cooler - Newegg.com

5K would suffice item cost+ import fees.

^^ Someone is in talks with Noctua for importing those units in India, but I am not sure how well they've progressed so far.

That talk is going on for past 4-5 months without any visible result.

That talk is going on for 2-3 months, actually. Its difficult to negotiate considering the reputation of India in general is screwed up because of certain distributors and individuals. I've done nothing more than to point out the person they need to speak to in regards to that. Rest is their call. Its only companies who haven't dealt with India that have been the most easiest, and 2 recently secured brands so far have went to the right hands which will make stuff from a particular taiwan based cooling company available in India pretty soon.

that must be the total width , but after u have installed Mobo and etc , the width for cooler is left to be 148mm , Whereas most of the coolers
require atleast 150mm space .

BTW I am getting 52 C while playing HoN , Is that fine ?

65 C is the maximum safe core temperature is all 8 cores are enabled AFAIK. What is your current fan setup and which thernal paste are you using?

CM hyper TX3 EVO fits the height criteria. You can also go with Corsair CH 40 if you are comfortable.
