The cooler isnt the problem, the case is. Replace that generic white crap with a coolermaster case.

Re: Cooler help!
I have a Cooler Master CM690, Asus P7P55 mobo, with i7 [860]
From day one this thing ran hot, and after an hour or so of research, trying to decide to go liquid or not, I worked out that it would cost me almost a grand extra to drop another 2 degrees C, or go with the CM V8.
Hammer as i may, I have not seen that chip hit 50 yet, avg temp being between 33 and 39 across all cores. It's a bit of a pain to install, as you will have to strip your machine to get your mother board out, good chance to give it a good dusting out. This size and placement does make changing RAM a bit tricky, and that's the only downside as far as I am concerned.
Money well spent
