How to get these temps down?

I think my temps are a bit high for my system. The room temp is 70F. Here is my setup:

2.8C
IC7-G
1GB HyperX PC4000
3 7200rpm hard drives
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Matrox G200 PCI
ATI TV wonder
Antec NeoPower 480w
2 80mm exhaust fans
1 120mm front intake

Watercooling:
RBX block on P4
Maze4 on 9800 Pro
Aquaxtreme 12v pump
2Fresh heatercore
Weapon Shroud
2 120x38mm YS Tech fans running low speed, blowing down onto the heatsink. The fans push air down through the top of the case and through the heatercore.

Here are the temps:

The northbridge has the stock Abit cooler on it, and my motherboard's mosfets have aluminum ram sinks.

I think my temps should be much cooler, and my system should be able to run with even less fans. Are there any ideas as to what could be causing this? The system is dust free, and I just reapplied AS5 to the CPU, and it yields the same temperatures.

Thanks,
Rich
 
Is that load temps or idle temps? You didn't specify...also why would you have a fan blowing in to the case through the radiator? Thats blowing the hot air back in to the case...you should have it blowing out of the case..
