Should it be so hot?

Because I messed up with the case size rather than wait for the replacement due end of week I though I would get get everything set up, BIOS flashed, Windows installed, games and programs ready.
But I was having shut downs and after a thread elsewhere it was suggested that the cooler Corsair H60 was seated correctly and it did look as though this might be the case but it took one or two adjustments as I find with AMD that I am unsure how far to tighten the screws.
After one shutdown I touched the pipes and was surprising how hot at least one pipe and wondered if an upgraded AIO might be the way to go with the 5800x?
 
I found my rooms got a whole lot more untidy after partnering up :D.

The H60 should be fine in my opinion although it wouldnt hurt to get something with a larger rad. Are you sure 850 is enough for your gpu?
All my research and advice here says yes as I have only the mobo, GPU and pump powered direst from PSU
I did not notice the sata plug round the pipes as pointed out by @Isg1r and have now connected that, I really think I am finally getting to old for this stuff. :D
I was thinking of the Arctic liquid freezer 2
 
Thanks all, stupidly the pump was not plugged in. Have thoroughly stressed tested today and all running sweet.
I have had some great advice to my rather simple issues over the past week or so, thanks all for your patience and help.
