shouldnt the temp be lower? or i did some wrong?

Is this idle?
The lowest it could really get would be ambient, so maybe the rad wasn't the problem. What are your temps?
What temps?

CPU IDLE, CPU LOAD, Water IN, Water OUT, Your mom?
I think his idle temps were the same, it will be load temps that are different.
no this is running [email protected], ambient are 67-70ºF and im getting 38ºC CPU and 41ºC gpu
Is that the same as before?

idk why people always go overboard with rads. a fat 360 rad can handle an i7 + 5870 cf with some decent fans

well im not trying to go overboard , but with the overclock i have in my GPU it has to be below 40ºC to be stable cause it folds 24/7, same on my CPU

i just wonder if it's ok to be like that , cause i assume 2 rads will cool it down more that a single one

What pump are you using, you could have decreased your flow rate too much?
maybe you could lap and your CPU and CPU waterblock, the waterblock could also be a bottleneck, how is your loop oriented also?

flow i see the same amount of water moving and the pump is a MCP600

lap? no no im afreid i will mess up my cpu or other parts, and the loop is pump-res-rads-cpu-gpu

Oh another thing I just remembered, the temp diode on Intel chips isn't very accurate below about 55-60*C. Yes, it's more accurate at 40* than at idle, but in all honesty you could be +- 5* at that level. I'll see if I can find the graph for the delta's on the diode to check it out again.

the best loop for this would be res-pump-360 rad-CPU-240 rad-GPU-res, so you remove some of the heat put in by the CPU before the water hits the GPU
