I apologize for not being more clear about the temperatures earlier. The idle temps are around 31 C as of now, and the moderate load temps are around 44 C. Ambient temps are usually around 76 F.

Hope this helps

guess you got the air out of the rad finally :) but those temps are fine for those ambient temps. Loaded up with Prime you may jump up into the low-mid 50's.

I would keep a close eye on the res top plug though. Swiftech says that rad is only to be mounted vertical I would only assume that is for a reason.

Its been a few day so far, and no problems whatsoever!

@bubba, That was one of my concerns, that the top plug would leak, and for a second when I first filled the system, it did. I had to tighten the plug so much that I can now barely get it off.

Well, I think I now have the gaming rig I have always wanted - water cooled, Corei7, and eyefinity!

Thanks to all of you!
