ok im running the following

asus rapage II extreme with the I7 920 2.66 c0

h60 water cooling

cooler master nvidia case

8gig xms3

but my temps are at idle 49oC

room temp is warm too
heres a few pics of setup

also im overclocked to 3.9ghz

The fan on that H60, is it pulling into the case or out?

Try reseating the CPU cooler to see if it helps at all.

Do you have Intel SpeedStep enabled? If not it can help reduce temps when your idling/not running demanding programs.

The cooler will cool to ambient temp or a few degrees above it so it is most likely that the ambient room temp will be lower than the temp inside the pc due to the component heat etc unless your room is heated very warm as you say it is.
Have the fan blowing air from whichever is the lowest overall ambient temp through the rad (likely the room).
What is the room temp? if very high you may need to lower it.

Ive just reseated my water block with new thermal paste and got a slight drop of about 4 degrees after using some older paste originally. When i took the block off there were areas on it that the paste had not covered so the block possibly wasnt making full contact with the CPU. You could try this as well.

ok i have some ideas 1 is buy a small freezer or fridge type thing 2nd is air cooling what you think people im also gonna look into diff water coolers

1) get a noctua d-14
2) remove those fans from the side panel and read up about proper case ventilation
3) cable tidy to allow good airflow through your case
4) open a window to reduce ambient temps
...
15) PROFIT!

Sort the cables... rid some of those side fans...

i have the h60 outside the case now but still getting high temps

I'd stick another fan on the H60, one pulling and one pushing through.

Are you having a mini heatwave down in Burry

id tidy the cables, check airflow direction, and think of a way to cool the room cause eventually everything will warm up to ambient (approx) unless you can chill either the air (or water) tbh even tho im on water in the summer or anytime from sort of now onwards when the weather gets warmer i switch the airconditioning on, so maybe think about getting a small portable airconditioner if your room is to hot, or a water chiller,
