I think its a bit too high, not sure how good this Cooler is.. but my 4690k cpu is at 4.2Ghz but also cooler by a H80i rendering can get my cpu to 64c maximum. and 68c under stress testing (P95 26.6) while 50-60c under heavy gaming load... for my taste 70-80c is a bit too high i think its best to keep cpu under 75c when stress testing... i'd suggest reverting to stock and stress test using Prime 95 26.6 and see how are your temps before overclocking with that cooler 
Its not bad, im assuming this is while stresstesting? They could be better, but if you were stress testing its quite normal to get that hot especially for the Haswell Refreshes. What is your voltage at? Any room to lower it which would help lower your temps as well?

1. What is your ambient air temperature?
2. What is your Vcore voltage?
3. What are you running on the computer when you are measuring these temperatures? Stress test (which one?) or extreme gaming>
My temperature is 82C with Prime95 26.6, 4.8Ghz, 1.378V and a Noctua D15S on that CPU.

Yes. Too hot for that. I'd still want to know your voltage. Rendering is a heavy stress, but I would expect/want 65C-ish. I did not look at all the video, but did not see exactly what your cooler was.

V. I now see 1.152V from the video. That's nice and low, so your temperatures ARE too high for that voltage.
