I woud't buy it. Yours is good enough.
Noctua NH-D14 is a better option if you want the best.

Your current temperatures are very good. There is no need to change anything.

itd just if i put it up 20 4.0 ghz then it will overheat in a sec

41C on load @ 3.6 is pretty darn good temps. Anyway, you're just gonna have to take it in steps and spend time tweaking if you want to reach your maximum overclock. You may not reach 4.0GHz without a more aggressive cooler, it just depends on your sample, but if you get around 3.9GHz it wouldn't be worth it to buy a new cooler just for an extra 100MHz.
