Make sure the pump is getting full power.
Ummm, either you have too much voltage, or even though the pump is bolted down solidly , it may not be getting a good contact with the cpu.
Or, one of your fans could be the wrong way and you have set it up as a push push, thereby nullifying the effect.
Checked fans, they're both blowing out of the case.
What is your settings for the cpu in your bios, voltage, multiplier etc.
1.4v, default multi, 50x multi for turbo.
LLC, etc, on extreme.
CPU Fan on Turbo.
Ram at DDR3-1600
36oC idle doesnt seem to bad tbh, but 98oC seems fuked up, but it all depends on what your settings are.
I've seen people on air with higher clocks than mine, with higher voltages.
EDIT:
I have also heard that sometimes the h50 pumps sometimes stick, so give your pump a little knock and see if that makes a difference.
Knocked it, didn't do much/anything.
EDIT 2:
Umm, your cpu is at 5 gig, which is a hella overclock, So I wouldnt be surprised that it has those temps, especially using a h50, I would recommend a proper water cooling setup if you want to hit 5 gig and use that 24/7 as I dont think the h50 is adequate enough for that.
It's plugged into my CPU fan slot on the mobo (3pin). And it's set to Turbo in the BIOS.
Thank you for the help. but tbh, if people on air are fine, why should the h50 handle it?
I thought the pump was NOT supposed to be plugged into the CPU fan spot? I thought they want you to plug the radiator fan into that?
The pump is plugged into the CPU fan spot, and the actual fans are plugged into any random motherboard fan spot.
Just have to make sure the BIOS fan speed is set to 100% for the pump.
This guy has a modded H50 and still has temp issues, but he only has 1 fan in pull.

Your fans also don't seem to pull much CFM and I am unsure of their static pressure. You should look into some better fans with good static pressure for the H50. Also take into account ambient temps, case airflow and exhaust or intake fan setup as well as TIM application.
What speed are those fans?
can you hear the pump working? with mine if i move the computer around before i turn it on i can hear some air bobbles moving through the pump.
From google your S-Flex's were 75 CFM... What about your TIM application? Try spreading it evenly across the processor as in a thin layer that covers it evenly. What's your ambient temp? What case do you have? And are the fans in intake or exhaust? There are many things you can experiment with right now and all the biggest factors are time and patience really.
Install HW Monitor and see what the pump is running at it should be 1400 RPM.
have you use the h50 on another proc before? use software to see if pump is running. if it running and you have it seated correctly, you lap job might be the cause.
For testing purposes you could also set the cpu back to default settings, run your stress test again and see what the temps are. If your still bouncing off the tjmax than you know something is definitely wrong with the cooler. You could also try a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter to make sure your getting the full 12v to the pump.
Yep, bingo. Turned settings back to default, load topped off at like 65*c.
Dropped back to 1.35v @ 4.7, topping off at 81*c.
Looks like I need to invest in a better cooler. Can't afford a whole watercooling setup (unless someone wants to trade for a q9650 lol).
Would the h70 be worth it? Or maybe D14, Tunic Tower, or even Megahalms.
Before you ditch it setup the fans as intake where they can pull in fresh air. And before you purchase another cooler take a look at what I posted up top.
I also don't think your fans are set to 100% in the BIOS. HW Monitor is pretty accurate with those readings in my past experience.
At stock you should be barely breaking 50C at load. Something is awry with the way you mounted your cooler, or your pump speed, or something.
It comes with everything, but I noticed it's the delta kit but it has the Rasa block pictured for some reason.
Anyway here is the correct one @ $129. Also if you enter coupon code facebook you'll get 5% off from jab-tech.

If you want to order from sidewinder I would verify with them before ordering it to make sure it's the Rasa kit and not the Delta.
The kit comes with EVERYTHING you need for a CPU loop. Pump, tubing, block, rad, fans, barbs, res. It's a complete kit they only thing many people change that buy it is the tubing some complain that the tubing they give you is cloudy looking. Other than that it's a great alternative to the H50/70 for a bit more and to dip your feet into watercooling.
Thank you for the help. but tbh, if people on air are fine, why should the h50 handle it?
oh, and both are lapped to 2000 grit.
SO you lapped your CPU and the H50? This is the one thing that stands out. Considering all the other things your have tried. Maybe one of them isnt perfectly flat..
It's probably the lapping job. I dropped 12c off of my old H50 when I lapped it didn't even do the CPU. That's with the same fans, TIM, mounting area, ambient etc etc.
