One simple tweak I can see from the pics would be to move the pump up to a level between the cpu and the rad. This will shorten your tubing and also cut the "hydrostatic head" almost in half. Also make sure there is no air in your rad. I've been watching as you went along on this project and always thought it looked like you were gonna have a hard time getting all the air out.

I'm not sure how I could mount the pump anywhere in this box that high. Maybe a strapping device or something.
However, I'm certainly going to swap the BayRes elbows for straight fittings which should give me some head back.
I don't believe there's any air in the system and hasn't been from the initial leak testing as far as I can tell. The fluid's not milky, no air bubbles through the lines, and no "gurggling" sounds at all.

You said you compared current temps with a Koolance setup, was everything else the same?

No, and that's part of my delimma as I'm comparing apples to oranges. The old system I sold had a KX7-333R and this one is a KD7-E. The KD7 series mobos are notorious for high system readings but read the CPU internally.
Cathar, I made a mistake and should have said 7v is the low setting for this 6 port FanBus. I'm going to adjust the low speed pots and see what 9v will do at low speed for noise/air flow.
