Well i have my RBX block installed in my system now temps are 35 C idle and 37 C load. I think these temps are kinda high from other ppls reviews. My current setup is MCP600, Thermochill 120.3, DD Maze4 GPU, DD RBX. Heres how everything goes

Res > Pump > GPU > CPU > Rad

Now i'm thinking it could be 2 things that are causing these temps
1) I had to really bend the Tygon on the output of the RBX moving it slightly off the cpu and thus the computer not starting due to cooler to cpu contact, I ended up not using the springs and just tightening the block down to the cpu until it wouldn't tighten anymore
2)GPU is overclocked from 380 to 480 and it comes before the CPU block
3)CPU block is tarnished but not badly

What do you guys think? 1, 2, 3 or all of the above?
