I've got the following loop set up, and when in the BIOS it tells me my CPU is over 80 degrees, then the pc shuts down a few minutes later

My loop is as follows

240mm radiator to reservoir
reservoir to pump
pump to cpu
cpu to 120mm radiator
120mm radiator to 240mm radiator

The water seems to be flowing (i can see tiny bubbles going around

The cpu waterblock is attached firmly too

Could i have the flow incorrect somewhere? and how would i tell? Is there an inlet and outlet on the radiator or does the direction not matter?


thanks
 
Found the problem, i've took the EK Supreme HF off, and the TIM is barely warm, the waterblock is barely touching the CPU

I can't think why, it is installed correctly (as far as i know) but doesn't seem to reach the cpu
 
You've not used the black spacers rather than the white washers on the top side of the board have you under the struts, that was my mistake when I first mounted it.
