Im cooling my e5200 oc to 3.15ghz at full load(prime)51c with an artic cooling 7 pro..is this good or should it be better?
 
Thats where mine runs at that same speed with a big typhoon cooler on a warmish day. You're fine.
Unfortunately the e5xxx series doesn't have a soldered cap, so you have two thermal glop junctions between the die itself and the cooler.
Temp drops of 10-25*c have been reported by people who have cut the processor cap off, but it's a risky proposition and totally murders the warranty.
