i have a liquid cooling kit on my pc. the case in my sig is old and when i had it i would run at 40 idle and 45 load. now i have a smilodon extreme black and am running at 55 idle and sometimes up to 65 at load. is it me or are these a huge jump in temps? the cases arent too different and the new one has more fans and better ventilation. What i did notice was that the fan that is attached to the radiator is wobbling a bit. not sure if that can cause a big problem but can it? also, should i be flushing my lines for the liquid cooling and adding new coolant?
 
If it's brand new then flushing should not be needed. I'd take an look at the CPU, is the water cooling stuff pressing down on it? Is thermal paste applied correctly?
 
overclk.exe, asus's built in temp monitor. also its not too new, but i was wondering if i could have done something when switching all the stuff that would cause the temps to rise

Yeah, you could have somehow broke or shorted out the temperature diode...
