With temps that high he may be right that you need to adjust your TJ Max...If thats not it, the only other thing I can think of is the flow, your over-radded very well, I like that....If all else fails I would just break it down and just use the 480, thats plenty with your heat dump, double up your fans on it so you'll have a push-pull, shrouds are always good to when you have the time..

I'd run it res-pump-pump-480-cpu-other blocks, that will give you your max turbulence through your rad and CPU block, with 2 rads before your blocks your water velocity and turbulence are probably on there knees with those pumps...

You may very well be better off just breaking it down into 2 loops, the 360 fro CPU and 480 for GPU's...Just use a t-line on one of them if you don't have an extra res...

Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help then that, I know it sux when a new loop has problems, you'll get it going, sometimes it just takes a little more tweaking..

If I am not mistaken the last picture I posted is a partial screen shot containing the Core temps from 3 major temp reading programs...I was thinking of getting two DDC 1RT Plus pumps with EK Waterblocks Top + Res cover for my loop in order to get adequate flow....but still I can't figure out why it's SO damn hot...hehe....I was thinking of breaking down to two loops but that would meaning that I'd have to drill 2 new holes in my PC and make it even more crowdy than it already is :P

ill go with the flow rate is to slow with that much in the loop and not a strong enough head lift

Yea, I was very skeptical about the flow impact on my loop, but martin's flow rate estimator stated that I could get a bit of performance from increasing the flow rate but still what would be like 5 C or so I am off like 20C and in stocks temps... :P
