Your system temperatures are also too high, so you need more case fans, or take the side off. System temperatures should be a bit over room temperature, like 30C. Your HDs will like it cooler as well.

Running your CPU at around 60C (full load) should be a maximum limit. This is a personal preference.
Good parameters.
