Do you have 2x120 fans on your radiator? How is it mounted? Since you have a water brock on your CPU there are no fans in this area which will tend to make the area of the socket & VRM warmer than a sys. with an air cooler. With no fan here is one reason your temps are so high along with not having case fans. I have 8 fans in my case total.Interesting observation. The thing is, I use an old case without the side panels and no case fans whatsoever... Not the nicest thing to look at, but I mess around so much that I got tired of removing side panels everytime I wanted to.

What kind of pump do you have? I would imagine your block needs more pump pressure than standard supermacy since it has no jet plate. It might be more restrictive too if that makes any sense.
I would also want to know is that high cpu core voltage really necessary for that speed?
Your package temp is quite high for properly optimized loop, The airflow will do only so much for the socket and pretty much nothing for package temp.
There is also a possibility that you have very concave cpu and I would check the contact. If your TIM is building up around the center of the cpu its ok, if it builds up at the center you have a problem.
And it pretty much shows in the temps. No air flow. Stagnant air that is hot just soaking most everything.
I was not guessing what you said but more along the line of a weak OEM fan drawing out the rear and nothing blowing in lower front. That was what I suspected. Not no fans and open case.

Well there's one easy way to find out. We'll have to get artie to take a house fan and blow some air into that thing.
I just believe he' got alot of hot air period. Hot CPU hot board hot gpu all sitting in a dead air space . Most cases if set up properly will run cooler with the side on.
Like comparing a bearded lizard to a fire breathing dragon.
Trust me it has caught quite a few people unprepared , myself included.
Pretty accurate although it would take a rather odd mentatility to come up with that minds eye picture, which is sort of scary to me. Hehehe.

Ya just a little something I picked up at the ILHOC
I put that up there maybe 6 mos ago and you are the first one to mention same. We used to have a group of us that gathered by skype that went by that name. Hehehe. Was a good group for sure man.

But man oh man what an affection I have for the current ILORC. A truly awesome bunch furthering the craft of overclocking to the many.

Actually Gonster it's this one, he likes all the purdy colors bestest.
