Are these temps normal for a i7-7700(non-k)?

I'm currently using a Cooler Master 212x since the stock cooler wasn't enough.

Temp per core sits around 32c-34c at idle.

After running prime95(max heat test) for 30 minutes it reached and stayed around 72c-76c.

Current room temperature is 26c.
 
Solution
That's perfectly fine, prime95 is a synthetic benchmark, it isn't a realistic portrayal of what to expect in general use.
I'd expect temps in the mid 60s or low 70s under high gaming load, not to worry.

Are spikes up to 50c when doing things like opening up multiple web pages normal? It instantly shoots back down to idle temps though. I never seen temps act like this before.

I'm new to Intel CPU's. My FX-8350 never went over 62c. Even with the stock cooler.
