Scythe Samurai Rev B a waste of money?

I thought this was a decent cooler and ordered it for the new machine that I am building (Q6600 based) and it looks like I may have made a mistake.

Here is the machine, what would you guys do for a CPU cooler.

I guess that might be mis-phrased. I am questioning its ability to properly cool the cpu (possibly with some light overclocking) or at least to do a better job than the stock HSF. If it can't then I will have to upgrade to something better.
