I water cooled my Intel i7 4790k and my temps on idle are around 30C and load is around 55C is this ok. I originally water cooled my CPU to overclock it a bit but i'm not sure if it is staying cool enough with the default clock
 
Solution
55c is a bit high but overclocks are safe till about 70c so you still have some head room there. However I would make sure you mounted the cooler correctly. It's pretty easy to mess up and bad contact can cause higher temps.

the room temp is 74F and i also replaced the thermal paste that came on the the liquid cooler to try to lower temps because they were at 40C before that.
