My overclock seemed to have gone down since i got watercooling.

I have a Pentium 4 2.4C (rest of specs in sig) that could do 275fsb at stock volts on air, but since i went water, it couldnt even do 270fsb, no matter how many volts i pump into it.

Temps have gone from 33 celcius idle, 52 celcius load to 25 celcius idle, 39 celcius load with watercooling. The Northbridge is cooled too, but due to my casemods and a few accidents, i am unable to fit the side panel and fan door on at the moment, so there's currently no fan blowing on the mosfets around the CPU and the ramstick, but the fets seem hardly warm to the touch. The ram is going through at around 50 odd degrees load on the heatspreader, but it used to do that too with the fan door...

Anyone have any idea what's happening?
