Temps sound right?

First I'll tell you about my setup. I'm running:
AMD64 3200+
Abit KV8 Pro
Corsair XMS 3500 512mb v1.1
Old random vid card till mine gets back from being RMA'd
2 Seagate SATA running Raid0

Now my watercoooling setup is:
Block: Whitewater
Pump: Ehiem 1280
Res: 5.25 from dangerden
Rad: dual heatercore from dangerden
Shroud: from dangerden w/ 1 120mm fan W/ other fan hole taped off for now.
(It runs from the pump, rad, block, res, pump) I minimized tubing while still keeping the pump on the outside attatched to the back of the case. I'll post a pic up later. The rad is on the bottom of the case and there aren't really any holes down there until I cut some tomorow but I'm just curious what you guys think.

Now I'm getting temps after startup of 39C, Sys 30C. The computer is OC'd 150MHZ to 3300 right now just from Abit's settings till I figure out my temps. Now that seems alittle high considering I'm not under load of any sort. This is just me sitting there watching the temp monitor from windows. Does this seem high to anyone or is just me?
 
They're not real high, but they will drop when you get the rad mounted with better air flow and a second fan on the rad. Abit MoBo's read temps pretty high as a rule also. Let us know how they do when you get things mounted............... ;)
 
Got a 3C drop after cutting out a large section of the bottom so the fan could breath... I guess I gotta order my other 120mm...

Yeah. slap two 120mm's on that shroud and you should see even more of a performance increase. Keep working on it ;)
