this is in the antec 1200 case , push pull at the bottom rear 120mm fan , this system has just been a nightmare. i regret buying it QQ
 
Yeah way to high. I wouldn't worry about idle temps, but I would worry about load. Try reseating the h50, or replace the thermal compound. You may put too much or to little compound on the cpu. If you are using the stock compound that came with the cooler, remove and buy some decent compound such as, MX3

im not , i requested that they replace the corsair h50 normal tim with as5 but i doubt they done it , i also asked if they could install the rad and put the 120mm on it but it was just lying in the box. my cable management is also a lot messier because i guess they had to take of the mobo to put the plate on for the corsair h50

im close to just getting a refund its been a total nightmare
 
I think you'd be better off doing it yourself. Just use some ArctiClean (or equivalent) and reseat with some arctic silver 5 or MX-3 compound. If you do it correctly it should be absolutely fine. It sounds like they rushed the job if your cable management has gone kaput as well.
 
Should send it back imo, you'd expect it to come back in the same condition it first reached you, cables tidied properly. Get on the blower to them.

Post a pic of the internals to see how bad it is.

You will find that the corsair paste is very decent will be minimal difference using mx3 as good as it is. liam get in touch with Dabyboy think he had a duff mega hot chip that he got replaced
