Odd Temperatures before and after overclocking

Alright so, my idle temps are low, and my cooler kinda sucks, like idle it runs below 28C, I have a 7600k un overclocked, and if I use Prime, it stops at around 72 and stops climbing, it just sits at around 70-72 (I know, cooler sucks) and I was running Far Cry Primal at Ultra settings, and I was only sitting at around 40C, but if I overclock even a little, like .2GHz to 4.0GHz, not even messing with the voltage, it goes over 90 on Prime. So, are these temps normal, does my cooler suck that much and just cant handle the overclock, or what.
 
Solution
prime makes cpu overheats and is no longer recommended for testing.
If temps are kept below 75 I would not worry, newer intel cpu are known to run hotter.

Alright makes sense. Read up a bit more on prime and saw a lot of people saying stuff, mainly like its just torture and not test... And just overall bad to use
