Hello
Two days ago I installed a custom loop on my pc and I noticed that the temps are kinda high (idle was 40c and under a stress test it goes up to 70C) I reseated the block a few times just in case it was that. I also checked for air bubbles and there are none.

What could it be?

Intel core i7 960@ 3.2ghz
ASUS Sabertooth x58
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4x4GB
GTX 1060 3GB OC
Samsung EVO 250GB SSD
Seagate 2TB HDD EVGA
Supernova 750W

24-26°C idle at 22°C ambient is impossible with your cooling setup. You should only be concerned by stress test temperatures and they are excellent. If your case gets that hot with a 40°C CPU that idling in Windows, then something else in your case generates that heat (GPU, low efficiency PSU, etc.)
