H50 cooling issues with X3470

I have a Gigabyte P55A-UD3 with a recently-purchased X3470 and just put on a H50 I had sitting in the closet for a year.



My temps have been quite high, easily reaching ~80-85C during Prime95. I'm not sure if it was the cooler or the thermal paste, so I took it back apart, wiped off the existing paste, and put on a dab of Arctic Silver 5. The temps we worse (~85-90C).



..which leads me to the cooler. I checked on quite a few forums and sites, and noticed there were 2 designs of the H50. One with a spring-screw design, and the clip one (which I have).



I'm not sure if it's supposed to run that hot, but I've never had a processor get THAT hot.
