I am running a Zalman 9500 CPU wooler with AS5 on an E6400, and my temps at stock speed are idleing at 43-44 celsius. This seems way to hot. I removed and thoroughly cleaned the HSF and heat spreader today with alchohol, and reapplied the AS5 using the smallest possible dot in the middle. I don't know what else to do.

Anyone have a similar experience, especially with this cooler, and if so what did you do to fix?

I think I might just have to replace the HSF, but this makes me sad. The Zalman is supposed to be good.
 
Yes. The zalman sucks with conroe, specifically under load.

Solution...bought a scythe mine, with a 2,000rpm fan :)

With the zalman, 3.4ghz, 1,475v, idle 36-38C, 62C-64C load,
Mine, same settings, idle 32-34C, 51-52C dual prime.

Verdict...the zalman is an over rated piece of crap.
