I have an E8400 OC'ed to 3.6 GHZ with a zalman 7000B alcu. I think my temps are to high and I think they need to be calibrated.I get 44*C idle and 56*C under load while gaming.I want to change the fan with a zalman 9500 led is it worth it?

Your temps sound reasonable for the cooler you are using.

the temp is fine for that cooler.but getting the 9500 is not worth it.just get the TRUE or the budget friendly xiggy.

E8400 @ 3.6GHz using CNPS9700LED
high 20s - low 30s idle
46-47c after 12+ hours of Prime95
~20C ambient temperature with case open (don't remember ever having a PC with closed case! lol)
I barely had to up the voltage on it, so probably why it's running so damn cool

9700 is an awesome cooler, but it's far from cheap. TRUE extreme with Scythe is a solution that offers same for less (wish I knew that before I bought 9700!!) From what I heard, Zalman 7000b is barely better than Intel stock coolers, so I'd definitely switch.
