Is it normal when I touch my component after a while :

- the pipe of my cpu cooling are not that hot, quite warm in fact (used artic silver 5) but it's still new.... now "solid" yet
- The pipe of the Asus Striker is extremely hot (I would say at least 50-60C) alot more hot then the cpu cooling

would it be because I've putted too much coolant ?
hummmm
my cpu at those setting go up to 73C (highest core) in coretemp :S

and to be sure it wasn't a error or something I even putted a direct fan on it ... still 73C...

if I stop the bench it drop to 55 C in a instant ! and 44C in about 2 sec
like the cooling work ... but it make alot of heat :S weird weird :S

EDIT.
Also.... after 4h it freezed

You may need some cooling on the NB chipset, get a fan on that, that may be part of the problem. The 680i gets extremely hot when overclocked. Most people replace the stock coolers, I know I do.
