Disappointed in temperatures.

Do you just have 3 fans on the rad? NF-P12's don't exactly have the highest static pressure on earth if it's 60mm thick, that could be one of the issues.  I have yet to try a fan that hasn't had trouble pushing air through my 60mm radiators, my GT's do a bit better job than my previous NF-F12's at lower noise levels, but both of them still struggle to move a lot of air through the rads. 

 

Could you try putting fans on the rad in push/pull?

What RPM do your fans spin at and what radiator do you have (info for myself :P)?

I have 2 480mm 60mm Phobya G.Changer v2's with 1450 RPM gentle typhoons that spin at 600 rpm, I used to have 2 780's but I sold one so I can downgrade my PC soon.  (I don't need most of the stuff I have honestly I shouldn't have bought some of it)

sounds like a kinked hose and air trapped somewhere.  I can't see the pics but do you have a vent for the air to escape while you are bleeding the system?  Or have you made everything air tight from the time you filled it up?  I had an issue with trapped air but I let the system bleed out for 8 hours overnight with one of the fittings at the top of my res removed so air could escape.  Surprisingly when I checked on it in the morning, I was down about 20% in my res from the top (I have the EK 400ml) after the trapped air worked itself out of my system.

 

My setup:

1 x 480 rad

1 x 360 rad (30mm)

1 x 360 rad (60mm)

1 x MCP655 pump

My build:  Leviathan  Case: 900D  CPU: i7 3770K (watercooled)  Mobo: Z77X-UD5H GPU: EVGA GTX 780 Hydro Copper GPU: MSI GTX 780 watercooled PSU: EVGA 1300W G2  RAM: 32 GB Corsair Vengance  HDDs: 1 x 120 GB Intel 330 SSD (OS X); 1 x 256 GB Samsung 840 pro (Windows 8); 2 x 2TB Seagate Barracuda (RAID 0 Data OS X); 1 x 3TB Seagate Barracuda (OS X backups)  Monitors: 1 x 24" Apple LED Cinema (center); 2 x 23" Apple LED Cinema (surround)  Watercooling: 3 rads, CPU, GPU, GPU, MCP655 pump, Lots of fittings, EK reservoir, EK UV Blue coolant.  Updated build: Leviathan 2.0

You my friend have an air bubble trapped. Turn the case upside down with it off and shake it. Obviously make sure it doesn't leak when doing this. Doesn't have to be all the way upside down but just enough. Turn the pump on after and then start tilting and shaking it slightly in all directions. I've learned the hard way by not doing this so now i do it every time i fill it.

And yes, Monty is right. Make sure you leave the cap off your reservoir and bleed the system for a few hours. You should see your water levels drop a lot when bleeding. If you haven't had to fill your reservoir multiple times while bleeding then you didn't bleed the system well enough.
