That would be the reason why you would get such high idle temps because heat is not being transfer to the block into the coolant. I would remount the waterblock and be very specific in how you mount it. Have your computer run for awhile and see if the water block gets hot by touching it. If it is cool then you have mounting issues.
If the block feels very warm or hot, then the pump isn't corretly working.

Would agree. The idle cpu temp shouldn't be more than 5-10C over water temp and that is generous. Maybe to much thermal compound? Is the block mounted in the right direction?
