Good temp for stressed i7 6700k

Title says it. I recently put in a new water cooling loop (haven't started overclocking yet, so stock speed stock voltages), what's a good temp to run at while running prime 26.6 on water? Currently sitting between 50-55. So, around 55 I'll say. With the Cryorig h5 I had on it while I was waiting the arrival of the parts, it was sitting at around 70. Definite improvement.

82c is the magic number so you have plenty of OC room.

That might be a topic for a different, non-$350 cpu :p the 5C isn't worth it to me, I'd be afraid to break it. Or tighten down the waterblock too much, etc. The limit for major usage is around... 85C? Correct? Low 80s or mid?
