Amd X2 555BE unlocked

I have got the cpu unlocked to X4 b55 3.2GHZ at the moment. HWmonitor shows TMPIN0 41C and TMPIN1 43C idle. The cpu cooler is Zalman cnps9500. Should i change the cooler, if so which is the best. I would also like to overclock the cpu.

With my stock cooler i run at the same temperature.(same chip, unlocked and running at 3.2ghz)
Budget?

up to £40, have you tried overclocking chip?

The idle temps seem fine. What temps do you get at max?

same chip here, unlocked and overvolted with the zalman 9700. With the fan on "slightly faster than minimun" im showing ~36.c on the cpu (tmpin1) idle, and ~50.c load.

Its the northbridge temps im worried about, has a tendency to hit 70-75 at times :/
