Or perhaps you need to have another run at installing it.

I have seen others post that their H50 surpassed their megahalem.
This whilst noise levels were not notably higher than their megahalem.

Granted, megahalem is no longer the air cooling king.
I can't recall where I read this now, I'll try to find it....
I think its Noctua that has the greatest cooling, but its also double the size, or at least looks like it.

I have tried a reseat over and over, but I am willing one more time. I am also thinking about getting another one just to see if I see better results. If I do not see any results, I will sell them off or try it on the one cpu that runs in the low 60's with Megahalem and single low speed fan.

Has the OP found any useable answers yet? Seems like this thread is a rollercoaster and I am not helping; sorry OP
