i have used realTemp instead when putting it under load using prime95 and temps are the same.

i have a zerotherm air cooler cooling my q9550 @ 3.8Ghz and its getting close to the same temps.
57 C max, idle 37- 40 C.

ill post screens latter, at school right now

the temps look real good... >.>....i see nothing wrong with the load temps at all.. idle temps mean almost nothing on top of it ur only getting 15 c delta so that's more than kick ass ;) and very nice setup interesting way of orienting ur res may i ask how is it different loops? unless u had 2 pumps and so on.. (too lazy to try to trace ur tubing)

Why are you using Everest and CoreTemp to read an Intel CPU temp? Use RealTemp, way more accurate.

+1 to PaulieG, I heard that Intel's sensors are unreliable at low temps.

They are off anyways but that is still a valid point, especially being the difference in ambient temperatures.

temps with real temp prime 95 @ 100% cpu usage

basic slight overclock 3.3Ghz
the same temps occur at the base clock of 2.8Ghz

also do you run ur case open or closed up? cause there could be a negative pressure inside the cause affecting the amount of cooling n so on.. but still 57 -60 c on an oced i7 is still pretty respectable temps ;) if i remember correctly i had 2x 220 swifty rads with xigmatech fans paired with a gtz SE on my i7 920 at 4.0 reach about .. 65-68 c (just cooling the cpu with 4 x 120 rad space xD) idle was.. around.. 36~ or something similiar .. was usin a d5b pump.

edit: temps won't increase too much until u start addin voltage to ur i7 ;)
