High temps with watercooler?

[Whereurmami]

Hey all,
Ive overclocked my I5-3570k to 4.2ghz, using a Seidon 120m CPU cooler. My idle temperatures are around 28-33 (taking into account that all cores have different temp) celsius degrees. When i run prime95, my temperatures range from around from 65 to 75 degrees celsius (again, taking into account that all cores have a different temp.) What i wanted to know was if this are acceptable temperatures to run my cpu, and if the water cooler is indeed working correctly or if i should expect lower temps.
Thanks

That seems kinda high for just a 4.2ghz overclock but even that it is not in any danger zone, as you won't be reaching stress testing temperatures with regular use.

Is there anything that i could do to possibly lower these temps? Anything i could check for or something?
thanks

The Seidon 120M CPU cooler you are running is doing it's job, it is just not the best cooling option out there, and the Ivy Bridge is hot when overclocked some even have delidded their Ivys to get better temperatures and higher clocks.

You could always get a better CPU cooler to get further, or just be happy you've gotten further than some others have already.

Stress temperatures aside what are your gaming or benchmarking load temperatures?
