So I got the corsair bulldog with its liquid cooling, plugged in a i7 6700k and an evga 1070. Ive been running this for a few months with absolutely no problem but my pcu temps are feeling high. Under no load I'm usually sitting around low to mid 50s in Celsius, at most popping up to 60 or just below. Under load its high 80s to low, maaaaybe mid 90s. I have seen some cpu temps sneaking into the low hundreds on occasion when I check up on star citizen patches though. This seem reasonable or am I running hot?

I know the cramped space of the bulldog gives you only so much cooling to deal with due to space but I was assuming better cooling with that liquid unit. Though ive never run anything nearly as powerful as the 6700k so this could very well be me worrying too much.

Side note, my hdd is a giant old pos so while my memory, gpu, and cpu are under little to no load my hdd will be cranked out trying to decide where to store stuff, and I can only imagine, what its purpose is for how hard it works sometimes. Could this be making everything else work harder than it needs to, possibly affecting the temp or no? I'm upgrading to a new hdd and sdd soon so it wont matter eventually, but just for curiosities sake. This is the first computer ive built, and because of that the first one i care about enough to pay attention to these things, so apologies for my ignorance.

its this guy here :https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181099&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Liquid+%2F+Water+Cooling-_-N82E16835181099&gclid=CjwKCAjw0qLOBRBUEiwAMG5xMJf4v8RPjXb_Vz976JNKV-3ZWiAvwmGgaFtO2Ka3xHnzT9RqinH2nhoCBkYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

and the case:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139090&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Cases+%28Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form%29-_-N82E16811139090&gclid=CjwKCAjw0qLOBRBUEiwAMG5xMNKQXIlguThtnW9cRByU7baOnLtClDSTsFGQ-xWQ93yInB4ZzKdVyhoCscsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Shouldn't be overclocked cause I haven't messed with it at all. side fan and front fan work fine, liquid cooling is kicking out a good amount of air, and the gpu has its own fans that all work perfect.

Could this be a problem with its seating?
