u've got to be kidding - something must be wrong with your setup. my
3200+ right now is at 33C idle, gets up to around 54C max after even a
day at 100%, using ttake polo cooler at only 2000rpm, not bad cooling
but could be quieter, i'd go for the Zalmans with 92mm fan.

what's the ambient room temp...? either its *really* hot where you are,
or your cpu is damamged, false reading, or the cooler isn't seated
correctly.

Swiftech MCX MCX462-V

You need holes in your MoBo CPU socket to mount this one


Or Thermaltake SLK-900 clip

I have the SLK900U running my 2500xp-m @3200 at 49C ambient @25C very
quietly using a silverstone FM82 92mm fan in a 80mm package at 7 volts
2400rpm using a nexus fan controller.

I've also used the swiftech MCX462 but not the -V it's just hair behind
thermalright in perfomance. The big differnce is that -V can mount a 92mm
fan Bigger fan more air and less noise
