Watercooling Temps

[customrig]

I just setup my rig with a watercooler from parts mostly from dangerden. I was wondering what temps all of you get with a maze 2 and heatercore or similiar setup. My temps are like 36 C at idle and around 42 C at load. This seems too high to me since my $30 heatsink fan can produce better temps than my $150 watercooler and the heatsink had a slight overclock. Is there something I did wrong or did I just blow 150 big ones on a watercooler that I will end up not using?

First of all how are you getting temps? MBM5, Bios? Unless you have a digidoc or you are reading the temp from the core directly they are inaccurate. Air cooling blows air around the socket where H20 cooling does not. I would bet your temps are lower now even though it is not showing so.
