ok, seems like: TheGhengisKhan, residentevil2 and Starfoxer didn't read my temperatures correctly .... 50C load is with the fans on the radiator _OFF_ !!!
as I also posted before ... these are the temps on the diodereader with the fans running silently at 26C ambient, and no time for the ac3 to burn in ....
idle
---case - 28
---cpu - 31
load
---case - 29
---cpu - !!_36_!! , 38 with fans at 7-8v

I am not even going to touch the fact that you cant compare temps between diff mb's .... the reason I posted them was so people could see the improvement from the volcano7+ on the same processor/mb.
I am not going to worry about any improvements 1/2" tubing would give me, and I believe that 50C WITHOUT FANS on the radiator is pretty great, it is almost 10C cooler than what it did with my volcano7+ with fans at medium.
I am pretty sure there isn't any air trapped in the system, has had it down on both sides a couple of times ... and I shook the cpublock arround before mounting it ...
GoingH2o, the fittings on all the innovatek stuff is 8mm ID/10mm OD .... I am using 7/10mm silicone since it doesn't kink as easy as vinyl, and I haven't seen tygon anywhere in europe yet ...
macdiver, yes the tank-o-matic gets the air out of the system.
