Stock Cpu cooler or After market?
I am running a Athlon 64 x2 4600 (65watt) @ OC speed 2.720Mhz (from 2.4 stock) and I am idling low 30's and on load i get low 50's at most <--- all of this is with stock cooler
Now I called my friend up and he said that an after market cooler won't really make a huge difference.
I was planning to purchase the Zalman 9500 but I am undecided as of right now.

Zalman 9500 is a great cooler. The 9700 is better, but make sure it fits your chipset (I am pretty sure it does).
Also consider the ASUS Silent Knight... got pretty good reviews.
Your idle temp shouldnt change that much, but your full load temp should reduce quite a bit. Also make sure you get some good thermal compound when you make the change. I recommend Arctic Silver 5.

Unless your planning on OCing further there is really no need to get an after market cooler for the chip you have unless you hear the fan and want it to be quieter.
The AMD stock coolers, especially on a 65 watt chip, are very effective.

controller help...
I just recently bought L4D and I have a dual analog controller I would like to use. I can't seem to get both analog sticks to work properly.. It seems like there isn't an option to set the right analog to your "look" or "aim." Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this..??
thanks
I forgot to mention it is for PC... and the controller is connected through a USB port....
