44C WC on a PIII?!

So I just finished my first wc setup about 20 minutes ago and I'm having an issue. I was *really* happy with the way it looked, glad as hell it was over. It took me three days to finish-- all the cooling is remote in another room with the radiator and res in there with lines going through the drywall and I/O lines in the back of the comp, not to mention a switch on the front of the case for the remote setup and hard drive blocks that I mounted to the rails and had to cut into the case (don't ask me about that part-- I'll put it up in the page I'm doing on this.)
So anyway, I was proud of my work.
So I go to post and check my teps after idling for about 10 minutes, and, holy shit, it's at 53C!!!! Mind you this is on a PIII 700 @ 933 w/ 1.65 vcore. So it shouldn't be that high. I take off the block and take out the shim, put everything back and now my temperatures are down, BUT ONLY TO 44c!!!
WTF?
So, was I just expecting too much? am I doing something wrong? what gives?
