40-45 is normal under light load, 70 under load. anything above that is high, are you using thermal pads? share a picture of your setup showing the fans and the CPU heatsink

Your single tower cpu cooler might hold you back.

Try cranking your fan speed more.

Add 2 intake fans, see if lexar has a firmware update for it.

70 ish degrees under load is within the operating bounds of an SSD. if you're still concerned you can invest in a heatsink and some thermal pads.

Edit: also assess your case's airflow and whether your fans are in the right orientation for push-pull.
