Temperature

[Jony27]

Hi guys, just finished my first loop and have gone straight into over clocking.
Just a couple of questions I'd like to ask regarding temperatures.
At the minute, I have my 3770k over clocked to 4.6GHz @ 1.25v and my dual 280x to 1150/1500 @ 1.144v.
When running Asus realbench I see temps of mid 60s to low 70s on the CPU.
And when running Valley I see temps of mid 50s on the cards.

I'm using a Ax360/240 setup with akasa piranhas.
The pump is the ek xres 100 pwm pump.
The fans and pump are all connected to a fan splitter and connected to the CPU fan header so I can control all of them at once.

The above temperatures were taken with fan/pump speed at 100%.

I'm just wondering if they sound about right as they seem a little high to me?
What could be causing these high temperatures?
And what can I do to fix it.

Thanks.

Play some actual games and let us know what your temps are

They seem generally fine going by your Heaven results. Perhaps a little on the warm side for water though.

ED: For a kind of reference, when I was running a pair of 7970s, temps were usually in the low/mid 40's - perhaps 50 tops on an extended run at around 1200 on the core IIRC. That was with 360/240 monsta rads, which shouldn't be too much different in performance terms vs your AX.
