Further info:

This is a completely passive system. No fans on the radiator. The load is PSU, CPU, GPU. I checked the temps in the BIOS and at idle its more like 30C. But after a little 3d gaming the system temps stay at around 45C (diode temps) and don't return to idle temps.

This has to be because the reservior water is heating up so the cooling becomes inefficient.

Would less water in the reservior help?
