I've done some tweaking on my 3600 and the watercooling loop.
I've found an issue with my motherboard that I've opened with MSI (not that that affects you). Basically it looks like my Pump_fan header isn't supplying the correct voltage or amperage. Either way not your concern.
What I have found is it's possible to cool these chips pretty well with water and a high flow style loop.
On the Pump_fan header I was getting the higher temps I posted. 35-40 idle and up to 85 on load. However that isn't the whole story as the header isn't working correctly.
On a direct 12v connection to the pump (the whole loop bar this connection is the same) I've managed to drop the temps to under 30 idle and 60 loaded.
So there might be a few issues with older pumps and AIO's not been ran at 100%.
