Yeah, its a bit high for max usage. Maybe reapply your thermal paste on your CPU.

No that should be fine. If you are worried maybe buy a better cooler and some more case fans.

There are several ways to lower temps by a little if you really want to. Applying better thermal paste, buying high quality fans, lowering overclock. It shouldn't be a concern.

ATM i know its fine, right now at winter my room stays cooler, but summner hit might reach 90C,  80C below is fine at 100% CPU load. once it hit 90 its too hot.

Thats actually finejust fine.  As long as it stays under 85C under load,  dont worry.

Running that hot will decrease the lifespan of your CPU.

There's actually nothing wrong with running a cpu at 90C, it is designed to run at that temp,  but certainly not recommended though.

Sounds good to me. Which stress test and what voltage you were using?
