You should be using an All In One cooler not listed?
What load are you under? Prime 95 or Gaming?
Not too bad for P95, but not great either. If your gaming temps are high they’re really bad!
You might lower the temperature by running memory at its rated speed (2666mhz) instead of 3000mhz. That could help if you have enough cooling.

There seems to be an error in the loop configuration. I mistakenly connected the outlet to the CPU block inlet, but it doesn’t appear to be the issue since my temps stay below 80°C at most. I plan to fix this soon. However, I’m not sure if this will cause a blue screen. What are your thoughts?
Your setup has coolant running backwards, which goes against the intended design (inlet and outlet). Please get it routed correctly as soon as possible!
My 8700K is overclocked to 5ghz on all cores, and my P95 vs 26.6 highest core load temp reached 51°C.
