I suggest redoing the whole thing, there is no point wc if it cant beat air cooling. I can see many things you can improve on.
Your Corsair kit is basically Swiftech kit. Just re-route the whole thing as thats alot of tubing = restriction. Try to mount the rad right in the case, common place is the top. Make a blow hole and mount the rad w/ fan there.
Or drill 2 holes at the back, reverse the rad with inlet and out let facing the case. Tubing will go thro the holes which will reduce lots of restriction.

Nice, it looks a lot cleaner now. Did your temps improve at all? What are the specs your rig?

try setting the rad up externally, on the top of your case, that once helped bring a freinds temps down by like 4c. I know it doesn't look very good, but with a good, clean case mod it can actually look very cool
