Take anotherengineer's advice and check for dust, hair, etc. Make sure your case fans are working and pointed in the right direction and that your case has plenty of room at the intakes/exhausts to exchange air. You might also take a peek inside when you boot to make sure the fan is spinning.

Yes, the Cooler Master tower-style heatpipe coolers are excellent bang for the buck. Effective cooling, relatively quiet, and affordable. What more could you want?
I replace my AMD stock coolers with the Hyper 212 Evo's little brother, the Hyper TX3. It is much quieter than the stock fan, and will keep even an 8-core FX within thermal specs at stock clocks (though the fan does become audible if you load up all of the cores 100%).
