Probably. Are those idle or load temps? If they are load you are perfectly fine. If they are idle, what are the load temps?

Those temps are fine. I'm not sure if the water cooling should be making it a bit lower than that but the temperatures are still great

EDIT: Yeah, like SNGX is it idle or load?

Lucky bugger!
My QX6700 was running at 50, 50, 42, 42 idle, then 65, 65, XX, XX under load with a Freezer pro 7.
So i thought i'd buy a Tuniq Tower to bring the temps down. Right now as i type this my core temps are 68, 60, 60, 67 (?????????????????) IDLE !!!!!!
Its obviously not seated very well, or the MX-1 paste hasn't taken properly, but i had to completely dismantle the pc to get this beast in. So i can't be ar$ed to redo it right now.

Polishtom: Your startup temps don't matter at all, unless its high. It doesn't mean anything at all for any other values.

k.jacko: Its obviously not seated well, and you'd have to reseat it. Make sure all the pins/screws are on tight. Might also want to check if the fan works. I've recommended the Tuniq tower to many people I personally know, and all of them are reporting superb temps (which I expect), so you should be getting good temps as well. Thermalpaste may have something to do with this, but I sincerely doubt that it had anything to do with your current problems. Replace the paste in any case (as in, re-apply).

Fan definitely works as turning it on full makes the blue led brighter, and its noisier, but it does nothing to reduce the temps at all.
Yeah i know i'll have to re-seat it, but i just cannot be bothered to completely dismantle the pc again so soon after rebuilding it. It can cook for a while i guess.

lmao. I know you've just rebuilt it, but I don't see why you shouldn't try to fix it immediately.... you know you'd have to fix it sooner or later.
