I7 4790k OCCT test results. Should I worry?

I just ran an OCCT large data set load for 2.5 hours. Results for the test yielded idle temp of 26c on all cores. The idle was run at 1 minute pre and 5 minute post.

What's concerning to me is the max temp under 100% CPU load. I have the 4790k water cooled by a Corsair H100i v2. At max load during the 2.5 hour test temperatures were:
CPU max82c
Core 0 73c
Core 1 84c
Core 2 82c
Core 3 76c.

Keep in mind that the CPU was also auto throttling to 4.45 Ghz during the stressful times of the test.

Now is this something to be concerned about?
The computer was build last February and I'm sure the paste is fine. Do I need to add more airflow?
Thanks

Dang and I thought I had a crap chip. I feel privileged now.

Temps seem about right for that cooler with that voltage though. I got 82c @ 1.303 with a h115i during stability testing. Keep in mind 1.4v will damage your chip, might want to override any automatic voltage regulation you got going on. Should be able to hit 4.5 at less than stock, 1.1v or less. Unless I got the best chip in the world, which is extremely unlikely.

I honestly had no idea. Good news for me I guess.

My thing is that I found out my motherboard pumps stupidly high voltage though the chip at default settings (Asus Z97-E). At default it was pushing 1.38v when it boosted to 4.4ghz. Once I realised this I disabled all those overvoltage things and it dropped it back in line with what I expected to see (about 1.2v @ 4.4Ghz). From there I was able to reduce it further but it took a lot of work to find the lowest stable voltage. I am very distrustful of Asus default settings now. Maybe they do that to ensure stability, but the heat was just too much.
