Well first thing's first, here's my system:

Loop Order:
MCRES-MICRO => Hydor L35 (450GPH, 80" Head) => '77 Bonneville Heatercore w/o AC (with 2 120mm fans) => MP-05 SP w/ N03 Accelerator Plate => MCW50 => MCRES-MICRO

So basically:
Reservoir => Pump => Radiator => CPU Block => GPU Block => Reservoir

Coolant: MCT5

Components being cooled:
CPU: AMD64 3400+ (S754 Newcastle)
GPU: 6600GT

Temperatures:
CPU: 33C Idle, 45C load
GPU: 41C Idle, 44C load

The load temperature for the CPU is reached very quickly (within 10-20 seconds) and the radiator feels fairly close to room temperature. This leads me to believe that there's something wrong at the CPU block.

Is the pump I'm using providing enough flow for the system I have? How restrivitive is the heatercore?

Any comments/suggestions would be great.
 
pics? maybe there is placement or tube length issues? far fetched but pics are good anyway
