Need advice badly.

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (socket LGA775, well I'm sure you guys know that). It's underclocked right now, because as the weather's starting to get hotter, my CPU is starting to overheat (checking temperatures with abit uGuru, well it was giving me a warning that the temperatures are too high, before I underclocked). Clearly the cpu heatsink/fan I have now is not doing its job properly...

Can someone please recommend me the best value heatsink/fan for my CPU? I can only spend about £42, and that's including postage.

I really need help... it's only going to get hotter from here, as we head into summer...

Titan Fenrir should do the job nicely.

The Titan Fenrir is perfect, price-wise. Is it much better than the (much cheaper) Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro?

Although is out of your price range I am a huge fan of http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-060-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395
Obviously you need a 120mm fan ontop of that. However the hottest core on my Q6600 @ 3.6GHZ is 65oc (after 24 hours prime 95 with room temps at around 25/26oc)

Unfortunately, £42 is sort of a hard limit (it's all I have to spend). But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

The Titan that spooks linked too is one of the best coolers out there! Not very quiet, but will keep your CPU at a very decent temp

Ah, okay. Sounds good, I'll get that one. Thanks everyone.

No worries, for the price it looks like a pretty darn good cooler http://www.insidehw.com/Reviews/Cooling/Titan-Fenrir/Page-2.html
