how about the water cooling parts?
Btw, your friend is right, that is the most common way to do the cooling loop, because you want higher gph through the block, and lower through the rad.

I am also guessing that it is 54 degree's idle, in celcius.
What kind of thermal paste are you using, [EDIT]if it is arctic silver 2, you might have to let it settle by letting it run idle for a few hours, [/EDIT: info changed between AS3's details, to AS2's] but I am seriously thinking either a bad block (can't move the heat fast enough) or bad mounting, is too blame.

but I need to know

block
rad/core
tubing size
res
and the fans that are directly blowing/pulling on the rad/core
