Try removing the thermal tape from Intel and applying a metallic type thermal paste. I work in a computer store and a customer had the same problem I used 2 dollar metallic paster and it dropped to 36.

5 fans? If you are not an engineer specialized in aerodynamics, they are almost certainly interfering with each other. Try reducing them to two - one sucking air into the case, and one blowing it out. Keep the PSU fan in mind too.
