Default new setup higher temps-lookin 4 help

hello.my setup is as follows.eheim 1250,86"chevette heatercore,DDmaze3,tygon 1\2inch id hose.res-14"acrylic cylinder4"id.heatercore has 2x120 panaflos1 high 1 med.
res outlet to pump inlet is 3\4'hose. all components are external. the plumbing goes res>pump>rad>wb>res.i have no pics, but before with my setup i would average say 31c-34c idle 38c-39c max load temp. i used to have heatercore in case,but now it is all out of case. this added approx 12" of extra tubing. it now idles at 37c-39c.max load temp is 42c. i have been getting help at another forum and they are suggesting i go res>pump>wb>rad>res. this will give me higher pressure going thru wb. my mb is an abit it7max2.>p4 1.8a. the weird thing is with my other board,which was a bd7ii i could`nt oc much past 133 with vcore maxed.
i am right now at 138\186 using the 3\4 divider and only have vcore set at 1.625 in bios. so i have higher temps but so far have overclocked farther on the it7,than i could with the bd7.but i digress.is perhaps the it7 reading temps too high?, did the extra 12"of tubing cause the temp increases.it is completely stable so far,benching gaming etc. your input is appreciated
