Just focus on load temps rather than what you see on idle. So far they look good to me.
Before you do any benching, you'll want all your drivers to be up to date.
To get a bit more accuracy on temps and benching, you'll want to run a benchmark for at least 30 mins so the loop gets saturated.
The PC was up and running for about an hour total, between the few tests I ran and some random web browsing. The idle temps above were when I shut it down, which looks like the loop is doing a good job cooling. The plan for tonight is a fresh install of Windows to wipe everything out from before the new GPU, then updating everything before running a few more benchmarks and trying to get in some more game time. If CPU temps still stay in the upper 40's, I may look at re-mounting the CPU block just to make sure it's got a good seat on it. I was hoping they would stay just a little cooler.
What temps do the GPU boost start to step down? I was thinking it was somewhere in the mid 40's, but I can't seem to find that info now.
