What kind of pump? it looks like you are running "xfrire", which I am assuming is crossfire. You are going through a CPU block, 2 GPU blocks, andd 3 rads? Might be a flow problem.

42c loaded does not indicate flow problem lol. EK FC 7970 blocks are not restrictive at all. OP, your temps look fine to me with the little info we have. Your temp delta is a function of radiator area. From here, it looks like you have a healthy delta. When you add the 2nd block your delta will go up obviously, but you should still be fine delta wise.

My flow seems ok as I have to keep the pump on 3 otherwise I get air bubbles from turbulence in my res.
My ambient temp is 23 C if that helps. Temps after 15 minutes Furmark.
