So I recently purhcased the Asetek kit from SVC.com that was on sale. The kit included everything cpu block chipset block and vga block as well as pump and single fan radiator. This is my first watercooling setup and only have the cpu block hooked up as I wasn't sure the single fan radiator would be able to take much more than that.
The problem I am having is that my idle temps on a e6500 2.93ghz pentium dual core is at 42 and 49 degrees celcius and reach well in excess of 70 under load. This seems hotter than if it was just on air. It does not seem right and it makes me believe something is definitely wrong. I do not know what I may have done anyone have any ideas as to what to look at first. I am going to order some arctic silver 5 and some performance cooling liquid just to see if that helps. But I believe something is wrong with the way I configured it.
This is the kit http://www.svc.com/03-l-1348.html
the only difference is mine is a single fan radiator solution
