Tempratures climbing after addition of 6800 NV-68

Finally got my Danger Den NV-68 to stick on my BFG 6800 Ultra (I thought I was gonna go deaf !).

Rerouted a couple of pipes to make the layout cleaner (I thought ...). Ran system overnight to clear bubbles, now running clear.

I was running at 218x12.5 @ 1.9vCore 45C load, 32C idle. This worked fine for my old card (a Radeon 8500, yeah bless ...). But putting the 6800 in with the stock fan I had to clock back to 208 just to boot , hence the waterblock.

Turning on the system this morning (no didnt get much sleep), went straight into BIOS health. Temp was 32C idle, this climbed (praticaly every second) to 45C before the system froze. Turned PC off. Checked mounting screws on waterblocks. Turned PC on, temperature climbed again. Suspecting to much heat set CPU settings back to 12x200@1.6v, again watched temp and held at 34C. Booted into XP but quickly BSODed.

I'm gonna increase vCore a bit to see if I can get into XP but if thats the case there must be something wrong with my setup.

I've attached a pic of the setup after the 6800 reroute.

The order is pump - rad - CPU - NB/GPU - RES

Any ideas
