GuyBFF, Again thanks for the reply you are immensely helpful on this. I think I will try removing one of the temp probes and the pressure guage to see if that helps the flow any. I when I do it I will measure the flow rate see if it makes any difference.
I never learned how to solder so I don't think I will be doing any vmod'ing anytime soon however, I do want to be able to upgrade the CPU and hopefully get higher clock speeds. So yes, I would like some headroom in the cooling system.
I don't think there is any air in the rad as when I filled the system, I did it outside the case in a bucket, running it for 24 hours, turning the rad upside down until no more bubbles came out. But I can check it again. I will be pulling it out of the case to remove the "T" fittings anyway so I will re-bleed the system at that time.
I never thought to lower the vcore. I will give that a try when I get home.
