Got my new PC build from Overclockers - CPU temp query

My slightly modded from spec Titan Thunder arrived and I love it, the work OC did - very happy with tower & cabling.

Been checking this 4.2Ghz stock overclock (5820k) in RealBench 2.43 under the stress test.

I think I may have made a slight misstep in not getting an AIO liquid cooler, I just kept the Alphenfohn Matterhorn Black Tower Cooler in my config.
When I stress test with 32Gb RAM, temps can sail pretty quick to 85c and nudged 90c on the hottest core (at that point I halted it) - everything looks OK on the PC nothing loose - CPU-Z shows 1.197V for the core voltage.

I suspect the CPU has too much heat for my air cooler with summer coming up I may have to back down to 4Ghz or get a H115i to fit in my 780T.

I did encode one movie and Handbrake got the CPU up to 85c too.

Does anyone have this CPU and Cooler combo too?
 
Thanks I'll check the BIOS just to see whats what.
Its a 780T and pretty damn clean so airflow is great.

An AIO cooler is going to have to be ordered, the good thing about that should be an increase in the overclock anyway if I get it.
