Cooling problem?

I just got my new parts and put together my new case, an antec p182. I also got a q6600 and a zerotherm nirvana to cool it. I have the following fans, all 120mm: 1 exhaust fan in back, 1 intake fan on top, 1 fan on the nirvana, 1 fan mounted to the drive bay blowing inwards, 1 fan blowing on the PSU, a corsair 620w. I am overclocking the q6600, but running at 2700MHz I have already started nearing 70 degrees on full load and was wondering if there was any airflow or cooling problem in my setup. Any feedback is appreciated.

There's definitely something wrong in there, but I don't know if it's an airflow issue or something else. It would be helpful if you could post some pics of the inside of your case. Also, try reseating your heatsink and make sure you have proper contact between the mating surfaces and TIM.
 
What vcore are you using? What are your ambient temps? Also, are your fans on low, med, high settings?
 
Probably a heat sink issue then. Remount it, and try to use as little thermal paste as possible.
