Hyper EVO is a better cooler which can let you OC Phenom to 4 GHz+. It can be fit in 2 Ways. Horizontal & Vertical. So I don't think you will have any problems. TX3 is kinda a quieter Default Fan Cooler. It wont help you much with OC.

Just get CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO @2K
It is the best performing cooler in that price range. :)

Hyper TX3 EVO is a good one. The thermal paste bundled is from Cooler Master, so, no worries, moreover, it's pretty efficient budget cooler and is available on FK @ ~1500, which I bought for 1411 about a week ago (seems FK does what I think-increases price after an order).
