Well....
I figured out the problem. After tearing apart my setup completely, so I could actually see in there good, I realized the waterblock was over the named side (the side that says "socket 462") of the socket. It was pressing down on it, and it was propping the block up so it wasnt making full contact with the cpu.
I assumed thats the way it went on, since if you put it that way, the opposite side of the block lines up perfect with the other edge of the socket. Plus when you mount it, it doesnt have as much of a tendency to lean off the CPU.

After taking it apart, I decided against putting it back on, for now. Got a 3 day LAN coming up tomorrow, plus my design scheme is really crappy. theres 3 tubes, the pump power cord, and the rad fan power cables going through an old 80mm fan hole on the side. Makes it very hard to move, but even harder to remove the side panel to get inside the case.

I'm thinking about getting a BIX off the FS/FT forum and going with a lite-on fs020. This case would require way too much work to get a 120mm fan hole on the bottom front, or the sides. Even harder to try and get a heatercore size square. It's got one of those acryllic fronts, along with metal. I am probably going to sell my case and maze3 to a friend. He's got a small 120mm tranny cooler, and I told him i'd sell it cheaper, but make him pay more for my m@d installing skills

Thanks for your help. Everyone here and in the chat constantly telling me to remount it finally got me to take it all apart and check.
And thats what it was.
