I am going to be taking my machine apart to try and fix these temps. I have a new Thermal Paste...Noctua NT-H2 and I may try a newer Liquid Water Cooler. I know we have hashed this out before but being the geek I dream to be, I think I can fix it.

These temps are not far from normal for this CPU. Even if you improve them, they will be barely better. I'm just saying that getting a new 360mm AIO will be a waste of money if you already have one. Most of them perform almost the same, and it's not a matter of how large the radiator is ( as long as it's not 240 for this CPU), but how fast it transfers the heat from the CPU, and in this matter, everything is limited. If you go with expensive custom liquid cooling, it will be maybe 5°C better.
 
Well? Crud....:bang head

Thank you for the insight! That is depressing. I can't even overclock a K chip.
