Thats one of those questions that noone can answer. You need to think about room temp, cpu temp, is there going to be a GPU and a NB block in the loop, are the rad, pump and blocks up to the heatload etc.
I've also found that each different C2Dthat I have used, has had vastly differing temps at the same voltage. This is why I mentioned about using a couple of different software temp monitors (or more), and take an average. I prefer to keep under 50c, under load, or less if possible.
