Whats 75-80F in C?
First thing I would be doing is making sure all the air is bled from the loop, then I'd remount the CPU block. See where that takes you.
Will sound silly but if/when you decide to remount check that you removed the plastic film off the bottom of the block, you'd be surprised how many forget to remove that in their haste to get up and running

Air is completely bled from the loop, I spent a good hour or so making sure there's absolutely no air. Flipped the case upside down... moved it around as much as possible, until there was absolutely no bubbles and got one tiny bubble of air in my reservoir.
I'll try remounting the CPU block later today. I was so scared of forgetting to take the plastic... that I made sure that it was the first thing that I did.

Thank you! Could be better still though!

since u run cf and your psu blow warm air into your rad too this may also be of at least a little importance ( how long does it need your loop to get that temps? )
is HT on?
what is your PLL?
are you sure you need this voltage for 4.8ghz?!
try lower vcore and run prime with 1344 / 1344 k size and 80% of your ram.
there are so many reasons that can affect on the temp

I'm using Artic Silver 5 for paste. I do the line in the center method, I don't think I used a lot... a small line down the center. HS is secured tight. It's got the main screws that go on and then tightened with the ones on the springs on the bottom.
HT is on... I am at work so I forget what my PLL is.. I am 100% sure I need that voltage to get this OC. I tested for around a month and there's people with higher V-Cores out there. I can easily get 4.5 at 1.35... Anyone can get that OC, but once you start to go above 4.6 the voltage starts to get much higher.
I'm also using offset voltage, so I am not really running it 24/7 at that voltage.
Also, you're right about the PSU heat getting in there... I will try to see if I can mount it on top of the case. I didn't want to do that, because the noise from the fans is loud enough that if I put it at a higher point, it'll be louder... so that's why I wanted to stay away from that... I might try flipping it up top today too.

1,45V on a sandy 2600K is too high for a day use, i would suggest to stop at 1.35V as max day use vcore voltage and check again the temp.
also, it will be useful to know yr water temp to see if the block and the rad are working properly

How would I get temp on the water? Voltage is fine, thanks for the suggestion.

What he said about voltage for the 2600k.
That's how I got the air out. I think I have gotten at least 99% of the air out of the entire loop. Like I mentioned above, I even turned the case upside down to make sure everything was out.
