I have the same block and board as you. You definately have a problem somewhere... 40CFM of air through the rad is very weak first of all. Have you tried 2 higher powered fans? When I had one rad and the IHS on my P4, my load temps were NEVER above 50C, even on a 34C day (ambient). How are you mounting the block? With springs? How much tension? I would first try the rad with more airflow, see how that works. Next, I would reseat the block again. TBH, for me mounting variations with the IHS were more varied (and bizarre) than bare die CPU's for some reason. It sometimes took 4-5 mounts to get the WB seated properly on the IHS. If you are brave, remove the IHS and you will drop 5 - 6C right there alone.
