34C in the morning?
wow...what all do you have watercooled just cpu? what radiator,pump,waterblock? we need to know ALL of these things in order to give you a some sort of an answerOk sorry about the long reply, I was trying somethings.
Ok here is my setup: Big water
jk
D-Tek FuZion
Swiftech MCP-655 pump
Black Ice Xtreme II
1/2" DD clearflex tubing
DD 8800 GTS block
My fluid is distilled water and some D-Tek coloring.
I attached 2 antec tricool fans to the back pulling air and temps dropped to 38c idle, 57c load. Also my ambient temp atm is 22c.

well glad to see you got the temps down...I would have to say that having cpu&gpu in the same loop with that rad...these temps are not that bad....
you could try and remount your waterblock...might help...make sure that there are no kinks in your tubing and what setting do you have your pump turned to?That's a mounting problem if its on stock voltage. Remount it and apply as much torque as you can with your hands on the screws/springs. Make sure you do it in a star pattern or else you might get an uneven mount. I'd suggest doing it 2-4 times to get an average.
Also make sure your pump is working as in do you see movement in your reservoir?
Ok I will remount it tomorrow after work. The pump is for sure working. I can see alot of movement in the res.
What do you mean by star pattern? Are you talking about thermal paste? I usually spread it on the heat spreader with my punch card. I felt like this time I was too generous on the application, but not by much.

If you're using ceramique or AS5, less is more. Apply a thin strip as shown in tutorial and let the waterblock itself spread the TIM.
If you're using MX-1, then a larger amount is needed.
Star pattern is how you should be tightening all of your waterblock mounts.
I suck as ascii art, so here goes:

You should be tightning like this order:
1..........3
4..........2

Depending on your room temp, that's not all that bad for a double radiator...
Good to hear that it was just a bad mount. In the future, I always suggest at least remounting the CPU 2-3 times to get a baseline of what to expect.
