Hi guys. I have an Antec Khuler H2O attached to my i7-950 (stock clock) and when im at idle its running between 54-64 Celsius. and under heavy load such as Battlefield 4 it runs up to about 75 Celsius. Is that normal ranges for my watercolor and CPU combo? or should i be getting lower temps?

Too lazy to read that? Intel specs the Tcase(chip) at 67c max. That comes out to roughly no more than 78c on your core temps. Your temps do seem high for watercooling. You're problems could be ambient temps just being high, poor case air-flow or just improperly applied thermal paste. You're chip isn't going to fry, but it definitely could/should be cooler with WC.
