I just built my new rig and I overclocked my Cpu (i5 6600k) to 4.6 using the corsair H80i V2 and got up to 86° on prime95 with a 1.28v vcore
is it too hot ???

So according to the article my temps should stay 80°c when in full load is that right ?? if not what should it be on full load??
 
80c max, but most coolers should keep it a lot lower these days. I can barely hit 60c with an i7 6700k at 100% load (except Prime95 v28.9 which is brutal and not good for your chip), but anything up to 80c is pretty safe. I doubt you'd get that on any other benchmarks though.
