Strange CP behaviour on liquid cooling

Did your old case have an extra 120mm radiator, or am I missing something?
The coolant looks rather dirty in the old case. I didn’t see any mention of you cleaning any parts before moving it to the new case. Once all the liquid is out all the gunk can settle (I would imagine) so them blocks will have needed cleaning. The Gpu is a far bigger block so the gunk can settle in places that are not as crucial as in the smaller cpu block.
when you pasted the liquid metal did you put it on both the cooler and the cpu or just the cpu? I’ve seen many youtubers do it only on one part and it really needs to be on both to get perfect contact.

Guys
PROBLEM SOLVED
Finally! I wish to thank you all for your advices and patience. Today I took out the cpu block, opened a cleaned all the gunk which was inside and IT WAS A LOT .
Now my temps are perfectly fine and waterflow is lightning fast as ever. Even GPU temps improved slightly. Now on Cinebench I do maximun 79 degrees on a couple of core while the rest from 69/75, INCREDIBLE! An improvement of almost 30 degrees while the GPU improved of 2/3 degrees at medium/high load and also the pump has become even quieter using it at full speed. WOW
I've been such an ass not cleaning the cpu block during the transfer, cause of my lack of experience I really understimated an issue like this, now everything is fantastic, thank you, thank you so much to all of you

That's good. If you had shown them 2 pictures earlier people would have told you exactly what it was. I could see right away there was a lot of gunk in the old loop.
I know it's daunting but the pc feels more "yours" when you customise it by sticking it under water. I still hate taking apart and cleaning my stuff.

That's because of my lack of experience I have never been through this before and understimated the importance. It was utterly necessary and silly me I didn't when I moved case. I could save up a lot of time. Look at the temperatures and the flow meter now

Flow meter is so fast now you can't see it moving, seems a chopper propeller
For the temps, same game same scenario, after half an hour it stabilizes at 45 degrees for the gpu and low 50 for the cpu

I thought that would be the case. It can be hard to tell whats going on especially with red coolant running, but as mentioend previously, making sure all crud was removed through every component and refilling, is one of the easiest ways to narrow down an issue
I would never imagine how this could affect my performance, I was really surprised when I've seen straight away the flow meter spinning like crazy, I was very relieved, I even thought the pump was not powerful enough or got broken, or the flow meter defective (it is a cheap one)
