Condensation Warm Water?

I'am doing a test leak (outside the pc no computer components) Ran it for 24 hours and ambient temps are 26C. After about 16 hours I noticed some condensation in the reservoir and touching the tubing it was warm to touch. Is this normal? Nothing to worry about?

Test setup:
Loop: Reservoir -->pump-->radiator-->cpu block-->reservoir
100% distilled water
No fans on it.
Swiftech Radiator 120x2
 
D5 Vario from Swiftech set @ '3'. Well I guess the stronger pump adds a lil bit of heat.

No, as said, the pump dumps heat into the loop. Measure the temperature rise of the water (over ambient) and you'll know how much heat the pump is dumping.
 
Yes, this is normal. Moving water will evaporate, and condense on whatever's containing it.
