Are these temps normal for watercooling setup?

I ran Linpack in OCCT today along with furmark and temps jumped to 67C! I ran the test with the "CPU:OCCT" load and temps only reached 60C with Furmark.

The pictures are as follows:

I'm using a e8400 e0 @4.2GHz... running about 1.4 vcore with vdroop on (only pulling 1.36v at load)

Ambient temp is around 23? I live in Richmond BC

My complete setup with all blocks and fans can be seen below:

I've attached a pic of my loop. The MCP655 is on the bottom right and the res is external on the left side of the computer under the HDD's (This is what get trying to stuff all this WC crap in an antec 300...lol)

Loop is:
pump> triple rad > CPU > dual rad > GPU > res > pump

Thanks for any advice, my last desktop was an air cooled barton 2500 and then I moved onto a w3j then y510 laptops for the next 4 years before this comp... so I have no idea what "normal" temps are these days... especially with the die shrinks.
 
How is the contact between your CPU and CPU block? Re-seating could drop temperatures significantly if contact is poor. Do you know what your water temperature is when you hit 67C? If it is ~30, then for certain it is the contact. If you're enthusiastic enough to lap, that will also do wonders if your CPU and block aren't very flat to start with.
 
I don't see anything wrong with 67C. When I had water cooling alone and would run a stress test I was getting top temps of 70-75C. So I would say 67C isn't bad at all.
 
those temps seem a little high for what you are doing honestly, but not crazy high

what temps did you get on air?
 
your temps are a little high. what fans do you have? using coolant or distilled water? last time you cleaned your loop? pump speed? kinks? some things might sound stupid but im just trying to think of everything! one single loop yes? or two loops?
