3) You've actually got the radiator plate attached to the CPU, with a sufficient (read: not too much and not too little) amount of thermal paste.
4) Fans running over the radiator are working at 100%.
I'd recommend, having no information related to this custom loop, that you seriously review what is going on before proceeding.
Some other questions that need to be answered before we can offer targeted help:
1) What is in the custom loop (radiator, pump, cpu radiator (commonly called block), tubing, etc...)?
2) What components are in the loop (CPU, VGA, etc...), and in what order?
3) What is the ambient temperature?
Edit:
Added underline to highlight that temps are not high in general, but just for a custom loop.
