I recently changed cases and changed up my custom loop. I am still using the same pump/res 2 radiators gpu block and mono block. I use hardline in the front of the case. I added some passthroughs and flextube on the back of the case to go to one of my radiator and back to the pump. I am seeing temps 10-20 degrees higher than they were before. any idea why this might be happening? there is good contact on the processor and same fan setup and OC as before. Before I changed case and added the soft tubing I was idling 24-28c and under full load I would hover 55-65c. Now I idle 40c and under simple game use i hover 45-65c and full load I hit 70-80c. GPU temps are normal 24c idle and 35-40c under use. I can not figure this out. I replace my mobo and the monoblock with the same models. My ambient temps are the same as well.
I changed from a Lian Li 011 Dynamic to a Thermaltake Level 20 HT

That is how it stays. And thats the temps.

 

How are the radiator fans orientated / configured now in the Thermaltake Level 20 HT?

 

You mentioned that you changed motherboard?

Is Multicore Enhancement (MCE) on Auto / Enabled on this new motherboard?

From what I know, it is on Auto (a.k.a. ON) by default.

The front radiator is laying flat with pushing down. The side rear radiator is up and down with fans set to intake.

You probably want to have the bottom 360mm radiator sucking air into the system, rather than pushing down and out through the bottom of the case.

The side 360mm could be intake or exhaust, but you'll need to try and see which is best, given the rest of your system's fan/airflow configuration.

You'd want to have the top 2x 120mm / 140mm as exhaust.

Do you have any 2x 120mm / 140mm fans in the rear, behind the motherboard tray?

I have the top rear fan as exhaust. top front fan as intake. I have not put in any fans in the rea as of yet but would make them exhaust if I did. I have corsair LL120 on all my radiators  as I did before in the same configuration. the flow is fine, I have test with vapor. It pushes plenty out of the front rad. Could air pockets or bubbles cause this?
