Zalman Reserator 1

I just finished installing the Reserator water cooling system into my computer and my initial response is WOW!!!! Before I ran my 3500+ Venice (no OC) with their stock heatsink plus 3 case fans. Now with the Reserator installed and using only 1 case fan my idle and load temps are both lowered by 20C ...

Before:
Idle - 56C
Load - 70C

After:
Idle - 36C
Load- 56C

My question then is, are these numbers about right or should they be lower? Also, I think I might have applied too much thermal grease...will that affect my temps?
 
Those temps really aren't too bad considering the passive nature of the setup. It is somewhat expensive in my mind.

If I bought a Resorator, I'd be sitting pretty in front of my AC.
