these are normal temps do not worry. As for what to do, it is unclear. by worker do you mean that one of the prime 95 test failed ? because prime 95 is simply a calculator trying to find as more mersenne prime numbers (a mersenne prime is a prime number which value is one less than a power of 2. 3 is one less de 2², 7 is one less than 2³). So an operator failing does not indicate a core failing.

Thank You for your response.So if a worker fails that's not necessarily a bad thing?I didn't go far on OC?By worker i mean 7th(8th) core stopped priming :D.I think i'm getting the hang on it,will explore some more and if i run into any bumps i will ask again.Thanks
