I just recently bought an xspc res top and had it installed in my system for about a week. Everything was working fine until I got a new video card and swapped out my old video card, which had a waterblock and was on its own loop.
I couldn't fit the video card in my case because it was hitting the resorvoir for the cpu loop. So I took out the resorvoir and just used the mcp355 pump with res top for the cpu loop. When I turned on the computer I let it run for a bit to bleed the system of air bubbles. The next day I look at the temps of the cpu and noticed they were up in the 50's and was scared thinking maybe there was a leak. I checked all over the case and there wasn't a drop of coolant. So I empty the loop and refill it and the same thing again the temps jump straight into the 50's even at stock settings. So now I'm thinking maybe I should try and reseat the waterblock and reapply thermal paste. After reseating the waterblock I still get the same results. So now I'm stuck trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the cpu or maybe its the loop.
I pasted two pics below of what my setup was before with two loops and now with just the one loop.
