I'm certainly not an expert on cooling or overclocking, but why would you liquid cool a non-overclocked CPU?
It's a closed system, not like I went with a full loop. Just decided to give it a shot, had always used fans for CPUs before.

I think that's how coolers are supposed to work - take the hot away, bring the cool in - I could be wrong about that, though.
Yeah, I suppose it was just how hot the hose was that surprised me. And the other fan wasn't exactly cool, it was a little warm to the touch too but yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right.
It's still running around 50 degrees. I've only ever noticed performance hits while playing The Witcher 3 for a long time but that shouldn't be enough to cause the temp spike I saw.

Weren't you measuring temps approaching 90 degrees C?
That's very close to boiling temp. But, I understand - I'm always surprised (for some reason) at how hot heatsinks and such get.
