the answer lies between the cpu and the block...
if the cpu is hot and the block is cold... its inbetween.
are you using thermal paste?
is everything flat?
are you using a shim that is lifting the wateblock up over the cpu?
also.. what are you reading cpu temps with? sounds to me like its a mobo diode that is way off... but still gives the normal delta in idle/max
here is something for you to try... get a cpu cooling program, and if your cpu doesnt drop down to atleast 10c over ambient... THEN you know the diode is off.
