I tend to agree, by the time it al circulates it must be nearly room temp again. I have played with cold water cooling a lot. My first attempt was a regular cooler full of water , icepaks and a pump which worked quite well. Now I have upgraded to this

This is awsome in the winter gets the water down to -20c+ at times. In the warmer months like now I have it all sitting in a deep freezer.

CPU 100% load
Did you have dry ice placed on the cooler for that? What was room temp at the time, and why isnt load % showed?
Honestly, that claim, needs to be backed up by a screen shot of Pirme95 running or something to prove 100% load on all cores. I dont even get below 30 on the CPU in idle with a huge loop, and water will never ever cool below ambient temp, which is my case is normally around 25 degrees
100% CPU load for what? 20secs?
At the end of the day, its not a big deal that you have to prove anything for me, but i find those temps extremely low, for 24/7 pushed cpu at 100%. What nags me about the proof picture, is the 100% load time.

Every vertical line in the box is 5 seconds. Meaning when this picture was taken you had run 100% load for all of 15 seconds at the max. No water loop will reach its heating point to where the fan speed will need to be raised, inside 15 seconds of max use. This is why i am ever so skeptical towards your claims.
Thanks, but it's not the final version. Next week my gtx 970 will arrive and I will do the changes you advised. I will hide the pump's blue cable and the fan's white cable on the top.
Very nice build Tark. I will say though if the bottom is filtered to make it as intake. Not sure if there is enough intake to go around. The way it sounds is you have negative pressure. Dust will accumulate overtime if not at a quicker rate and ruin the white look. You don't want unfiltered areas as intake and filtered areas as exhaust. Should be the opposite if this is the case and if not, well move along. lol
