I almost finished my built and I'm doing some tests...
Gpus temperatures are great, the cpu temperature is not that great.

CPU loop is a Bay reservoir with a DDC 10W pump, a XSPC Raystorm block, an AX360 rad with 6 SP120@1200rpm (push pull)

I'm running an I7 [email protected] with 1.3V
23C is my room temperature.

CPU temperatures:
Browsing on windows: coldest core 32C and hottest core 38C
Intel burning test: coldest core 56C and hottest core 63C

I did another test, I left it running Prime95 for 30 minutes and the hottest core was 68C.
If I overclock to 4.8ghz and 1.4V the hottest core can reach 75C.

I already replaced the thermal paste and didn't change anything, is this temperature normal or should I get lower temperatures?

I was really hopping for lower temperatures.
GPUs are great, all lower than 50C.

Anyone running a 3960X or 70X in a custom loop?

I am running a 3930k under water, and keeping all cores under 60c while stresstesting is pretty much impossible. I have tried everything from a measly 4.2GHz to 5GHZ and i always end up between 60 (on hottest core) and 72C.

63c is very good for 1.3v, be happy :)
 
the only way you can really see is to get a water temp sensor. Then you can see what your temp delta is. But those temps are not bad especially when stressing it
 
I went 18 months on pastel and it stank when I changed it and that wasnt even being ran everyday.

I swapped to x1 a couple months back I also noticed an average 10c drop in gaming temps on my temps too might be worthwhile swapping coolant.

Edit just realized this is a new loop so it wont be that
