Loop temps seem okay?

Just finished building my first loop today, one slight issue with one of the fittings leaking when at a certain angle, gonna have to order a new one ASAP. Other than that all seems good.

ATM it is just my cpu on 2 240mm rad, rans running at 0.75 pwm/degree and the pump is at 2 pwm/degree load temps whilst running prime are around 61 and idle temps 48. Do these seem right? They seem a little high

My 2700k is running at 4.5 can't remember volts off the top of my head but one air I was hitting 78 at load the cooler was a raijintek themis.

Edit: Seems my pump is running at 1200 rpm, no matter what i do it wont change, but i had it at 100% when filling the loop, any ideas?

Pump is an EK 140 D5 Revo PWM

I did add the pump model to the OP

I've taken the OC off for now whilst I test, I'm getting 33 idle, 45 load, with the fans on highest PWM (2.5) this is really quite load but the pump even when setting it to 2.5 pwm in bios stays at 1200 rpm no matter what.

Maybe I just had too high hopes for my temps. Felt like 2 240 rads would yield much better temps. Oh well better and more silent than before though. Might invest in better rad fans

At the minute I only have akasa piranha in, they seem to be pulling a decent amount of air in. My front rad has quite high FPI.

I'll buy a few things I want to add next time I go in the loop

My idle temps are what was worrying me most, But I've put my overclock back up to 4.5 and my idle temps havent changed and neither have my load temps. Which I'm happy about.
