Do these temps seem reasonable?

I recently removed my h80i AIO and replaced it with a budget loop. I don't overclock, so everything is running at stock speeds and voltages.

My 4770k was running at 35-40c while playing bf1 while under the AIO.

My current loop has a dc12-400 running at 8v pushing glycol through an xspc raystorm water block, to my 1080, to a black ice extreme 92x2 radiator with 2 noctura 14mm fans in pushing into the case. This dumps into an xspc 120 radiator with 1 sp120 fan pushing out of the case. The 120 then goes back to the pump. All tubing is 3/8" id.

I have no reservoir, and run a t line to fill the system.

When playing my 4770k tops at 50c while the 1080 doesn't break 40c.

O, the cpu has been delided and repasted with mx4 (not direct die.)

This is a sff case, but the cover is removed so the internal ambient is not a factor.

Wait wait wait, are you running just straight glycol? You are supposed to run like 5-10% glycol and 90% water.....

Straight glycol is not only too viscous for good performance, it doesn't have performance characteristics as good as water to begin with.
 
I came in here to ask about the glycol as well.

Anyway, yeah, those temps seem about right with that little of radiator area. If you are taking temp readings while gaming your GPU is going to be dumping twice as much heat into the loop as your CPU. Without overclocks a 4770k will put out what, around 100W and the 1080 will be between 200W and 300W? So yeah, CPU temperatures will be higher than before when you only had a CPU in the loop.
 
Ok thanks.

Id love to put more radiator in there, but my case is too small.

I toyed with the thought of an external rad, but cant get myself to do it.

I mean your temps are completely fine, you could even overclock some if you wanted to. I wouldn't worry about it at all.
