Alright I have been running this system for the last couple of months and my temps seem to have jump from 29c to 50c over time. I cant figure out for the life of me why its doing this.
The system is this one here.

The water in the resovior seems to evaporate after time. I am thinking maybe I need to seal to tops of it with like a rubber gromet or something. I am not very happy with these high temps. BTW there are 4 120 mm fans pushing and pulling the air through a car heatercore which is quite large. The pump is a Maxi Jet 1200 and the waterblock is a Maze 4. I have been using waterwetter for the past time but I recently ran out and continued adding distilled water. I notce a little build up on my Maze. So I ran some simple green through the system to see If i could clean it out and its a little better. Then I bought more waterwetter and fresh distilled water. But the temps didnt change I am still at 50C.
 
oh well its been hot here in WA and my rooms prolly been anywhere from 70 to 85 degrees depending on the time of day. It faces the sun in the afternoon.
 
wow, 80degrees is hot? i guess it would be in WA. i have to put up w/ 90-100 degrees w/ 90% humidity most of the time. so, yeah my system runs a little hot, but it peaks out with an old volcano7 HSF at approx 50 degrees. im sure that is halfway aceptable with an overclocked proc and a layer of dust that could kill most small mammals.

but, you have water cooling...hmmm..
is the pumps pressure still the same? maybe its croaking
 
good call on that one but i dont wanna have to buy a new one but i might have to ..
no one bothers with ac in WA so the days its 90 out i sit at my comp with just shorts on and i am still sweating.
