So I've got a water cooling rig set up with a radiator, cpu waterblock, and pump/reservoir. All items have copper plating, I'm not sure about the pipe heads but I believe they are chrome, I am 100% sure they are not aluminum however. I'm running pure distilled water with a UV dye from Feser, with a silver kill coil. The case never receives direct sunlight. Do I need to do any maintenance on the system? My only complaint thus far (systems been up for a two months or so) is that the temps don't drop below 50C on prime 95 even with two powerful fans on my radiator...what gives? Thanks
(I achieved 50C with a Hyper Evo 212+ previously)

Temps seem fine for a hot chip. Don't even know but what radiator are you using? Answer all the question in the Watercooling section under a new thread. Thanks
