My non-OC'd i7-4790k gets max temps a little cooler than that when running at 4.4 GHz (turbo mode) on a CM Hyper TX3 cooler, so that OC looks pretty good.

My pc is locked in a corner surrounded by furniture. Temp in the room is pretty warm. So that may be the cause. I will try and re-sit the cpu cooler as well.
I was also planning on upgrading to a liquid cooler. Is it worth it ? Maybe the ''Corsair H100i Hydro'' or the ''Corsair H110 280mm'' ?
Right now im @ 4.00ghz with 1.2v. Average temp was 90degrees with prime95.
Here is a test comparing water all in one coolers to the Noctua NH D14: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nepton-280l-tundra-td02-water3.0-pro-reserator3-max,3607.html
Some of the water coolers were slightly better coolers than the Noctua NH D14, but they cost a lot more and the fans were pretty noisy at full load.
I bought a NH D14 and I have been very pleased with it. It is very quiet, even at full load.
Results with Prime95 will depend a lot on which version you use. Versions after 26.6 put a very high AVX load on the CPU causing abnormally high core temps. I would get ver. 26.6 and stay with that. I also use Intel Burn Test.

Yes! Most definitely! Do not exceed 90*C. while stress testing!
Something is not right.
I recommend that you shut down, unplug, remove your CPU cooler, clean off the thermal paste on the CPU and on the cooler. Reapply new thermal paste and pay close attention to cooler re-installation.
