I would say thats too high under full load - my pair of X2 3800's are running at 49/50C under full load whilst crunching 24/7, and thats with stock AMD coolers.

i have a 4400 X2 at 2.5Ghz with stock cooler and it sits around 45C
maybe you need more airflow  I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila  I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out  One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?   |

Never heard of that make - looks a bit cheap and nasty to be honest, but you could try re-seating it.
However I would recommend you get yourself an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro, or Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower
