Need a new heatsink for Q6600

Well I just about had it with my AC freezer pro 7, In the past when I first got this thing one of those plastic clips on it broke off when I was trying to install it, I then bought a new one and finally got it on. Now to this day it hasn't been giving me the temps I have hoped at all. Better yet, the stock heatsink would probably give me cooler temps (which I lost). My temps are as follows:

Speedfan Idle:
CPU: 38C
Core 0: 54C
Core 1: 51C
Core 2: 46C
Core3: 47C

Core Temp:
Core 0: 54C
Core 1: 51C
Core 2: 46C
Core 3: 47C

Real Temp:
Core 0: 39C
Core 1: 36C
Core 2: 31C
Core 3: 32C

I'll take anything that will keep this chip cool and I am also looking to OC it a bit.. atleast to 3ghz if that's even possible, hoping its the heatsink and not the chip itself. Also my chip is B3.

Thanks.

 
I have just assembled a rig with my e8400 cpu and Ximatek heatsink. My Speedfan idle core temperatures are running at 45C and 47C. These are way too high from my expectation since this is a huge and respectable heatsink. I haven't started overclocking yet. The heatsink seems to be sitting pretty tight and I am very puzzled.

Indeed, I have assembled another rig for a friend with the stock heatsink and e7200 cpu. The idle temperatures were about 40C. The temperature increased to 63C after I overclocked it from 2.4 ghz to 3.05 ghz.

Anyone can help me to solve this puzzle? Thanks in advance.

E8xxx and E7xxx are not able to give you a the real temperature in idle. That value you get with CoreTemp , SpeedFan or RealTemp is pretty much useless and out of reality.

Only measure the full load temperature, since that is the only one that matters and it's much more exact.
