Default cascade bad temps?

I have put together an impressive watercooling pc(on paper)

2 loops:

loop 1: Hydor L30-cascade-dtek jrl120 and shroud with evercool 120mm (80cfm or something)-bayres-hydorL30,etc.

loop 2: Hydor L30-swiftech mcw20-swiftech mcw50T-black Ice Extreme(with 86.5 cfm panaflo)-T-hydor L30, etc.....

Both of the Hydor L30's are refitted with 3/4" OD outlets and inlets.

system:
I have a p4 2600, 800fsb,HT and a abit ic7 max3 mobo and a ati radeon 9700 pro.I have used arctic silver 5 thermal paste with all the waterblocks.

The problem:

loop 1 is just not cutting it.My CPU gets too hot.I know abit mobo's display high temps and the IHS could be responsible for displaying high temps(especially with a cascade).

But my temps are idle: 39 C
load: 56 C
Room temp is 21 C
the difference between idle and load is very big. 17C

I have reseated my cascade several times, but the big difference remains.the holes in the block are not clogged either, checked that several times.

Could some help me?
