So i got the H50 instead of the H70 and ran a push pull config on it. Then i OCed my 955 BE to 3.8GHz and have ran Prime95 for almost an hour and this is what i have. My idle is between 27C & 31C

It's alright. Are you using the stock cooler or an aftermarket one? What about thermal paste?
 
Well the H50 and H70 are ok coolers. But after a point on load they kinda lose it. But your load temp isnt extreme, but probably not as low as you expected for the hype of the H series.
 
Wow. Talk about some harsh language! :P

I, however, have found the H50 to be quite decent with an i7. Perfect? No. However, after using it in a push/pull configuration, I found a deal on a real water cooling system. Ironically, moving to 2 dual 120mm radiators didn't really lower the temps that much. With a heavily overclocked i7, anything is going to have a bit of trouble because it puts out so much heat--with your processor, there's not nearly as much of an issue.
