Loop troubleshoot

I have a XSPC d5 pump/res combo with a rx360 and rx120 for CPU only. I'm just waiting for you blocks so I thought I would put a ex120 rad in the bottom of my 800d so I don't have to mod the case. I put it in and refilled the loop. No air in it now and settled.

My issue before I put in the 3rd rad I got 61c after an hour of prime. Now with the same volts etc I'm getting 65c room temp is also about the same. Any ideas as to why an extra rad and a bit of extra tube would cause a jump in temps??

I have the 360 in the top exhausting and the 120 in the back also exhaust. The 120 in te bottom is intake sounds like that's the issue as the case rep is higher. Im slowly realising the 800d for all it's size it a bit restrictive. Might make the hot swap bay an intake chamber.

Looks like it was the airflow from intake. I've put the rad on the end of the hot swap drive bay and put a 120 fan as intake on the other side. looks better and temps are back. Thanks AB123
