Water cooling temps off?

Just finished installing my water cooling setup (no pics right now, dont have a digi camera) and have some question about my temps.

Smart guardian is showing that my CPU is at 26C, PWM at 43C, and chipset at 36C. NVidia's control panel is showing my 7900 GT running at 37-40C.

My loop goes --> pump, cpu, vid card, chipset, radiator, pump -->

My 7900 gt is overclocked to 560 core 800 mem. And my Opty 165 is at 230 FSB currently with no extra voltage.

I was wondering why the large changes in the temps? I figured water cooling would cause them to run within a few degrees of each other. They are deffinitly much cooler than they used to be. My chipset used to run at 45 idle, cpu was at 30, and the vid card was around 45 idle.
 
yeah I am getting the same thing, CPU at 24c, one video card at like 35 the other at 36, its strange, maybe it is cooling that well? My CPU is stock right now, and I am using a really high end water system.

*EDIT*

Oh and before I installed the water, I was getting about 40c, hmm
 
My AC is set on 75F, but I know the computer room is always a bit warmer than the rest of the house... so, prob 78-80 F.
 
Chipset definately seems a bit high. I doubt the CPU and GPU are dumping enough heat into the loop to cause such a temp.

Have you tried remounting?
