true, but most people = fresh copy of windows then start bench marking with defender running in the background still. and it wasn't always like this defender used to be quieter than most other AV software
 

you need an expert in thermal and fluid dynamics to answer this question, however your temperatures seem ok, electrical components will hold a temperature higher than ambient and that temperature is derived by the amount of electrical energy is wasted (as heat energy) and how fast that heat energy can escape into the atmosphere (dissipate), well in this case into the loop first then the raidiator releases that heat into the atmosphere. now as to the water temperature thats a delta of 40-28(assuming the cpu readings are correct amd cpu temps are not always accurate) which is 12 degrees, at what point in the loop is the water temperature taken after the cpu die or after the water has passed the radiator as this will cause a difference in temperature.
 
also to add a 8350@4.6ghz under a hyper 212 ides at 40c I'm from Jamaica so my ambient is like 24c, and according to my roommate the thermal readings from the fx line of cpus aren't to be trusted because under load(prime95) he pulls 200+ watts from the wall but temps never pass 65c. at stock i haven't seen temperatures below 38c. the funny thing is when compared to my i7-2600@4+ghz (non k) i pull a little over 100 watts but my temps reach 80c+ under load with a cryorig m9i which according to bench marks does slightly better than the 212 so mileages vary.... a lot sometimes.
 
i would rely more on the board temps and the water temps, but remember that loops take a while to reach a terminal temperature for a given work load

system specs would be nice especially mobo info. try using the non intel sata ports and check the benchmarks, either the sata controller is going or the ssd it self, try changing cables too

use the dhcp and look at the addresses that it gets, then use them back int the static settings

well sandy-bridge representing

audio and usb ports are the mobo control if you put a drive in the "not working" usb port and bios allows u to boot from it then thats a software/windows issue. try resetting reflashing Bios before u spend your money.
