I'm thinking I did something wrong.My temps are staying around 46 C idle and 47 C load,that's with using my motherboard temp. program.With the Everest temp. program it says my idle temps are 38 C and load 40 C.Which one is right?My bios says the same as my motherboard program.The waterblock on the cpu and the gpu feels cool,even on load. :confused:

I'm running the evercool wc-202 w/c kit(the two rads and pump/reservoir are in a shoe box that has 2 fans blowing onto the rad fans,and YES the rad fans have a shroud that i made out of card board)
My loop runs as follows:reservoir/pump -> rad 1 -> rad 2 -> cpu -> gpu
I tried changing the rads into different slots and orders,but it only increases my temperatures

Can someone please tell me what's going on with my temperatures
my specs:
amd 64 3000+ socket 754
soltek k8an2e-gr mobo
420 watt psu
80 gb sata 7200 rpm WD HD
geforce fx5900xt(slightly overclocked)
 
If the difference between idle and load is small like in your case, it's probably your motherboard incorrectly reading the temperature. Don't worry about it, especially since you said the block is cool.

If you did anything wrong the temperature would vary much more than that.
 
Thanks for replying so fast,I appreciate it.Considering im only 14 and have built mutiple pcs but only water cooled 1,I was kinda worried.But yea you just saved me lots of money.I was about to break out my savings and start buying new rads and pumps and all that.

Do you have any temps on that same setup, but with air?
 
I recall the air temps on the cpu were 47 idle and 51 load

and my vid card doesnt have a temp sensor but the whole card was hot
