Default High Idle?! Home made Block Ideas...

Hey all, it's pretty damn HOT in my room, but doesn't bother me one bit... but it DOES bother my rig! Usually temps range from 80F to a blistering 89F. All the while AsusProbe says I'm idling at a steady 40C, no matter WHAT the ambient is! I was down to around 26.5 one day and it STILL was high at 40C. So I decided that I was going to do some more modding to my current home built unit. See the pics Anyhow, after some serious modding and getting a new pump, heater core, tubes, the damn thing still idles a high 40-42C but max's around 45-48 on the hottest days (89F+ ambient!)... Getting a milled block like the maze series should drop idle, but the block I've got isn't all bad and it should preform much better than it's currently doing... Any advice would help! (Aside from getting a new block, at the moment, I'm strapped for cash, and I kinda like building and experimenting first)

I've also attached some pics of my ideas for a north bridge block also... THanks!
