I would have to say it was mounted wrong or not tight enough. I am running an XP1600@1523mhz 2.05Vcore with the original Aluminum block I made and It is running a toasty 30C under SETI load at this moment. I will drop my newest one on shortly and report back.
Not having the top on correctly will easily make it mount wrong. If the top is not 100% level with the rest of the block then it will mount crooked or not fully. Also if you got anything in the channels it will cause those eddies to form and just make a hot whirlpool of water.
I also ran it in my Abit KT7A system for a day and got 34C under load which is the same board you had it mounted to? That had the XP1600@1523mhz at 1.85Vcore. No problem with heat. I am running a lesser system aswell with 170GPH pump and 1/4" ID barbs and a tranny cooler. Can't see it being the blocks problem but I will double check on the new one.
10C is way over what any design should be. A chunk of Aluminum with a hole drilled through it will get better than 10C from a DDMaze 2. The worst design there is shouldn't have but a 10C difference in the best there is.
On another note I got the drawing back and ran it through the software but it came up wrong on the code with my mill software. The drawing in ACAD looks good though. I am not sure what to make of it yet.
