CPU temps 70 C?

I am running my core i7920 OC'd 3.2GHz.
12 GB RAM 1600MHz.
I have run intel BT on maximum at 160 threads and I am gettings max temps of 70C.
I am using a watercooling with a 240mm RAD with 2 noctua P12 fans.
AC5 TIM using a swiftech apogee GTZ CPU block.
Are these temps ok?

I don't know why the cooling system is not performing well.
All the parts are good enough and the flow of water is correct.
My motherboard is reporting temps of 45C.
I don't know where I am going wrong with my watercooling?

Voltage is set to 1.2v and TIM is arctic silver silver 5 applied using the condom method.I think my problem is that the pump is not fast enough and is struggling to push the water around.
What should my temps be with watercooling?

What temps should I be getting at idle and IBT maximum with my corei7 920 OC'd 3.2GHz using watercooling?
I might sell the WC kit and go air cooled to be honest.
