[SOLVED] Are this temperature safe for Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550

[cccfrn]

I'm kinda new to overclocking and I was trying to overclock my Core 2 Quad Q9550 from 2.83 GHz to 3.40 GHz. Are these temperatures bad?
Core 1 - 85c
Core 2 - 79c
Core 3 - 81c
Core 4 - 78c
It's the temperature 3 minutes after running Prime95 v26.6

Edit: I'm using intel stock cooler

Intel only gives TCase max which is 71.4C.

I've read where tcore (what you are measuring) is about 15C over tcase (not sure how true this is)....so I think you might be OK.
