Got a stable overclock to 4.2GHz

FSB/Multiplier:300/14
CPU Speed:4200
NB Speed:3000
HT Speed:2400
CPU Voltage:1.47
CPU-NB Voltage:1.35
NB Voltage:1.28
RAM Speed:1599
Motherboard:Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5

But i ran Prime95 for 1 minute and CPU Tempature in EasyTune6 is reporting as 66C+.

Cooler: CoolIT Vantage (Push/Pull setup)

I made sure i totaly bolted down the water block and still the same :/

Any suggestions?

I just reseated the water block once again and used a thicker screwdriver to screw it on, (re added termal paste also) and when i mean bolted, i mean bolted! and now it won't go past 60C under full load in Prime95. I had to bring down the clock back down to 4GHz "Stable" and It's fine now but i would appreciate any other suggestions

The CPU cooler isn't enough.

I could possibley use a different radiator, a much larger one and top-up the fluid's
