AC5, no other option really. It's so cheap even if it only makes a little bit of a difference then your not exactly going to be out of pocket.
It took my temps down from around 53C load to around 46C and for little over a tenner, i'd say thats a bargain.

Yeah, I'd look at gettin ga new HSF and giving it a good clean and using some AS5 on there too!
A fan on the side would help to bring in the cool air too, rekon you could mod it?

I added a 120mm fan for a blow hole to the top of my case . Since hot air rises it helped alot, but I also use a Zalman 9700 cpu cooler.

Colt, is that an intake or an exhuast you have, I'm guessing exhuast, right?

Yes No
Yeah it's an exhuast . I have the top 120mm and the back as exhuast . Then I have 2 120mm and one the front as intakes.At idle my temps are 25C and loaded 42C .

I would suggest that you do some cable management. That will drop your Temps a little bit and it's free.
