have the Z4 waterblock from OCHo, and my temps aren't good at all, like right now my 1700+ @ 147 FSB are 118F or 48C IDLE!!! This is on a K7S5A. What is up? I need some help, it should be ATLEAST 40C IDLE, mayve 50 full load.. I have an transmission cooler, and a shroud with fans, i can feel hot air coming off it.. If you can please give me some pointers

Is the waterblock fully seated on the CPU? And, do you have bubbles in your system?
Make sure your radiator is getting some cool air, and check to see the pump is going as fast as it should.

theres little tiny bubbles, but I didn't think they'd hurt, and the pump is shootin them right through there, not long at all to make a complete circle, so its pumping away.. I don't know how tight the WB should be, or actually the mounting screws?
Try giving the block some more pressure. It seems as if there isn't enough pressure being made between the CPU and the block. Does that mounting system use springs, bolts, screws and washers? If it does you can add extra washers to make it apply some more pressure.
