It's high for the type of cooler you have.

First, what's your Core Voltage reading in Cpu-Z / Bios? if you running stock clock, you shouldn't have anything above 1.25v, typically the default vcore is around 1.30v so you can set it lower especially at default clocks. Most 6700k can run @ 4.5 Ghz with 1.25v, that's what i m running it at and only a Megahalem + slow fans, it doesn't go above 55° in Prime95. 0.05v can make a significant difference.

Also make sure your cooler installation is correct first, no need to torque it to the max, just firmly secured without adding strain on the motherboard and socket. Then if everything is fine try IntelBurn, it's heavier but the real test if it passes at least the default 10 packs.

The temps you listed for Prime95 are quite typical, and, normal only under a processor torture test; they are not indicative of typical temps that would occur under a normal processor operating environment, however....

you can look up overclocking particular mainboards on youtube; www.hardocp.com also has numerous mainboard reviews over the past several years, and may have reviews of your exact/specific mainboard or a close relative....
