Hi all
I've made a new thread as my last title was wrong, and didn't want people to bypass it because of this.

I bought the XSPC RayStorm D5 RX240 V3 WaterCooling Kit, and ive over clocked my 5960X to 4.6ghz with just over 1.25 and uncore 4.6ghz @ 1.35v fully stable using aida for 2 hours. will try go further at a kater date as i think i have a decent chip for once!. My idle temps are around 30-38degrees. Under stress testing it goes to 73degrees. Would this be considered normal with my water cooling? or is something wrong?

I have my pump set to setting 3, and moving it to 5 makes little difference.

I have re seated the block twice, second time round with artic silver 5.

Just want to know if these temps should be normal with my cooling and wattage.

Update: Just been testing my games. Farcry 4 and GTA V maxed up. Looking like temps are stable around the high 50's, just a little more info for you.

Thanks in advance.

Oh ok brilliant! I was just worried because I spent £250 on a water cooling kit and was expecting it to be cooler to be honest, so you think I should stay where I am with voltage then or maybe press a little higher? 1.3v gave me 75 degrees running aida for 1 hour but I didn't try up the ghz from 4.6 at that voltage I think I may be able to hit 4.75 maybe?
 
Ok my main issue was wether my water cooling is keeping my cpu as cool as it should so if you say they are that's good enough voltage for me I may push to 1.275 see if I can get another 100mhz if not I'm happy at 4.6
