Deepcool Captain gives high temps

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum though I have been following Linus for years now. I got a Deepcool Captain 240EX recently. My temps have been increasingly high. I have my Phenom 955 clocked to 3.7Gigs at 1.424V and the NB at 2.4Gigs at 1.25V. I generally idle at around 44C and on load hit 63C-65C. I must say that ambient temps here in India are around 35C right now. But I upgraded from a Hyper 212 Turbo which had better or almost similar temps than this aio. What do you all think? Issue with the pump? I reseated the block around 3 times with a Mastergel Pro thermal paste from Cooler Master. All gave me the same results. The rad is on top exhausting with the fans in push. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You went from a high-end air cooler to a very low-end AIO. The Captain series is known to be pretty bad. Also your CPU voltage is very high, leading to more heat for the cooler to handle.

No offense sir, but the Deepcool AIOs have been shown to be potentially great coolers. And the Hyper 212 is not a high end cooler. Its a great budget cooler. What I am looking for is a reasonable solution. I can RMA it but I wanna know if there is something I could do that would help the situation. Also, the Phenoms need at least 1.4 V to be stable under overclocking.These are 8 year old processors we are talking about.
