Temps look pretty high under load.
Opps sorry didn't see it.
You can try lowering your vcore a bit (maybe to 1.28 or 1.29v) and see if that lowers your temperatures whilst maintaining stability. How hot is the CPU running at idle? It's not a big problem that it's hitting 70C at full load, because remember it will hardly ever be running at full load.

Idling mid-to-high 30s is fine, mine's about 35C give or take a couple of degrees at idle and yeah lowering the voltage won't help that much but it will produce a tad less heat. I'd say at full load, 75C or over is too high, and at idle, with a cooler like your's, anything above the 40/45C mark would start to worry me. On the stock coolers though, 45C at idle is pretty normal.
I'm not sure if the Gigabyte boards allow this feature or not, I can't remember if it's a CPU feature or a board feature either. :/ I believe the feature is called Intel SpeedStep technology, have a look in your BIOS for it. You want to make sure your C1E Reporting is turned on as well.
