Yes it would be better than the stock fan, you want it blowing towards the cpu.

If you're really looking into OCing, you might want to invest in an aftermarket HSF set.
I reccomend looking at the zalman HSF's or the thermalrights.

If i had a s478 cpu like yours id have one of these 2 coolers on it before i even thought about moving the FSB or voltage.

But hey, thats just my opinion others would say its ok to OC on stock HSF but not me.
