Drop your temps about 10 degrees easy with this. Easy to install. Your going to do damage to your chip with all that heat. Anyway, like I said before, that chip isn't a good overclocker, but you need to be a lot cooler.
How are you looking at temps? From what I understand there's a CPU package sensor, and then sensors for individual cores. We could be comparing different sensors here

For example, right now core 0 is 43C but the overall CPU temp (which I presume is the package) is being reported as 33C.

Also remember that quad core CPUs are likely to run hotter since there's 4 dies in the same size package as a dual core.
