I have the temperature alarms on my motherboards set to 70 C. So I think your load temps, although kind of high, are still acceptable.

I am guessing that these temps are with stock cooler. If you plan on overclocking, you will need a better cooler.

I will never overclock. My temperatures are now down to 52 52 50 51.
On load at max goes to 65 65 63 62---- Torture Test---- So safe zone.
The heatsink was filled with a lot of dust. That was a problem. I cleaned it a bit. I will clean it completely again in two days.
