Hey everyone, Im new to this forum and also new to watercooling. I recently read ALOT of articles on ProCooling.com and this one Here , caught my eye. I bought all of the items he mentioned in the budget watercooling setup. I have installed it on my xp 1600+ (not overclocked) and my temperature readings are really bad!! Normally 54 degrees for idle?!? thats what i was getting with aircooling!!

, Can someone please help on this? Also, i have a big heater core, not sure from what, with (1) 120mm Delta and (2) 90mm fans in exhaust mode, is there something i didnt hook up correctly? I tried just bypassing the heater core, and go directly from the res. to the processor, and the temps were the same. If anyone can give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
