After reading threads I have a feeling something isn't right with my rig. I'm using the push/pull (stock/scythe as exhaust) on the H50 and my idle temps according to CoreTemp is about 39c. Does that sound about right? I keep reading other threads where people get temps of like low 30's idling. I wonder why my temps are so high. I have 1 120mm fans on top (exhaust), side (intake), front (intake) and bottom (intake).

May I ask why you are pushing hot air through your radiator?

Reverse the fans on the H50 and reverse the fan on your HDDs. Cold air needs to come through the rad... a little warm air blowing over your HDD's won't hurt anything.

And I am sorry I don't have time to find idle temps, but keep in mind the H50's idle temps will be much warmer than heat pipe towers. The difference on the H50 is the hotter the processor gets, the more efficient the H50 cools.
 
I had it as an Intake before and read it only made a small difference as an exhaust, but i might switch it back as intake. as cold air is suppose to flow through the rad.

Just ran Prime95 for 2 hours and here is the result:

Seems pretty good for stock settings?
