There are good and better solutions for cooling top end or overclocked CPUs.
You can get one of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134
They cool far better than the stock cooler, but are just as noisy unless you use Speedfan to reduce the fan speed.
On the other hand if you can spend a bit more,
get one of these
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835109140
with this 120mm fan
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185005
This combination will work far better than either the stock cooler or the Freezer 7 Pro, and will be pretty much silent doing it, as well (25dB versus 40dB).
