I would take it off reapply thermal past and make sure that you have seated the WB on evenly and not too tight . Give this a try first then get back to us on it .

You may have it on too tight and crooked . You may not see this now but try what I said and see this time take it slow and be careful and meticulous .

And Yes please check this as well .

Were is the pump hooked up to ? If it is the MB then go into the BIOS and see just how fast it is running if it is too slow ( Not the Max ) then adjust the Bios setting to make the thing run full on max !

lol, i'm back and double checked everything as i've done it.

Ok, pump seems to be running (i think )

picture of bios...

CPU Fan is the fan on radiator, chassis fan 2 is the header the pump is connected too.




Will reseat waterblock tomorrow night.

Just to throw a question out there, would my temps be this bad if i had put fan wrong way round on the radiator?

No. I would suggest not using your computer until the cooler is properly mounted.

I've noticed that sometimes with my H50 that it can be kinda picky on how its mounted (Ive used it in a few builds)

Remount it, and I'm positive your problem will go away.
