Actually, you should be getting better temps than that with the cooler you have. I would try reapplying whatever thermal compound you can get...Artic Silver 5 is best, anything else by Artic Silver is next, but any thermal compound will work. Get the compound, we'll help you get it installed.

What is your room temperature?

If you are willing to spend that kind of money, any Socket A cooler on these pages should get you load temps in the mid-high 40C. http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/scan/se=CPU%20Cooling/se=Thermalright/mp=menu_search.html

I was surfing around looking for PC parts sites in Israel...since I don't know the exchange, I didn't know if they had good deals or not. I just did a Google search for "Israel Thermaltake", and came up with probably 10 PC parts websites that sold coolers that will get you decent temps.

While surfing, I came across this page of a PC forum in Israel...I can't read it, but I assume that you can. Maybe you could find someone that knows where you can get parts in Israel for a fair price.

I'd recommend a thermalright slk900, i'm not sure of the currenct conversion but those are getting pretty cheap now with the new thermalrights comming out, and they are kick ass heatsinks. just make sure and get a high cfm 92mm fan to go with it.

If you don't mind the extra noise you could try upgrading your CPU fan, I've noticed about a 18C degree drop in temps, by going from a "quiet fan" to an 80mm Black Delta.

If you still want replace your heatsink, I would go with a Swiftech or Thermalright brand. However, I don't know where you could get them and have them shipped to Israel without it costing a lot.
