Well, it WAS idling at 34, now I can't get it to go under 36 at all. I even redid the thermal pasting (did a thinner layer than before) and it helped for about 10 minutes and then it went back to the 36 at idle, and when running Firefox or playing music/whatever it sits at 39-40. Should I be hearing any kind of sloshing when I gently shake the Radiator back and forth? I did notice that the stupid screws that come with it actually go far enough in to actually smoosh the fins under them, which makes me nervous that it might leak.
Also, got it mounted on the top where I wanted it finally with the new Cooler Master Excalibur fans, which means I got to put my 140mm exhaust back in like I want.

What kind of Thermal paste? Arctic Silver 5 needs about 200 hours of burn time before temps start to drop. Arctic MX-2, MX-3, and MX-4 don't have such issues. Idle temps should not be your concern, but rather load temps. Run Prime95 and tell us how your temps get. Download HardwareMonitor so you can see your current, max, and min temps when running the test.

Ok, ran Prime95 and my max temp was 55 after about 5-7 minutes. It did gain heat pretty quickly, pretty much hit 51 in less than 30 seconds. Now that it is off it dropped back down to 43 in 30 seconds. Still waiting for it to cool below 42 3 minutes later (but that could be related to my fan control settings.)

The pic above, you can barely make out the H50 system.
And below is the server i own that hosts my games. Some simple specs that i know
-Dell Power Edge 2650

-2 16 HATACHI SCSI Drives
-1 32gb HP SCSI Drive
-Windows XP Pro 32-bit
-No RAID
-Host's CoD1, CoD:UO, Garry's Mod, Ventrilo, Team Speak (I just took off CoD4 for lack of use)
Heres a video of it and some pics of the network setup.
YouTube - Herp Derp Server Update
The Gray and Black LAN cables attached to the rafter is the link to the router. I run Dual-Router links for shared networking (basicly balances the load of network traffic signifigantly) and the yellow wires are to the server.
