i`d turn it around so that the pump doesn`t pull the air from the top of the rad.
OK....done

Just to make certain we don't take this for granted since the system is out of the case at present: make sure the radiator is higher than the water block and make sure the hose connections on the radiator are at the bottom. Air will seek the highest point and if that happens to be the pump head then you will get air lock and if the return hose is at the top of the radiator where there is an air space then the coolant will not flow properly into the return hose but will be picking up air and returning air to the pump.

It's a start. Avg. 6C temp drop. Could you take a pic/draw where are the fans installed and how are they pushing/pulling air? + what case are you useing.

Don't take that package "Powers" too seriously. It is not actually a measurement but a calculated estimate by the software.
Something is still very wrong with your water cooler. My suggestion is to hang it so the radiator is higher than water block, the hoses are straight up and down or nearly so and the hoses are at the bottom of the radiator. Hang it like that overnight and give the air bubbles a chance to work out of the liquid and travel to the top of the radiator. Then check it again tomorrow.

Well, if the temps aren't improved significantly after the cooler has been burping all night while hanging then the cooler is bad and you need to do an RMA of the cooler I would think. You never answered my question about having the stock air cooler laying around. If you had that and put it on you could check those temps against the temps you were getting with the water loop.

I did answer your question...a few posts up...I have the stock fan that came with the processor....When i get off work i'm going to run prime95 and check the temps....I can also stick the stock fan on and run it...
