High CPU Temperature

[superrace]

Hey,
I recently tested my i7 4770(stock one) 3.40Ghz/3.9Ghz turbo on prime95, and i found out that my cpu temperatures are pretty high at idle they are around 35-40 c. But at full load they can get to 88-92 in a minute.( http://scr.hu/0q17m/qnzu6 ) I changed my thermal paste and it change the temperature by 5 degrees. I'm not sure if should i change the voltoge to higher or lower rates.
I will also mention that i have a stock intel cooler.

I will apreciate anyone will reply

Is there any dust in the fan? Your idle temperatures are fine although your full load temperatures are a little worrying.

you should lower the voltage, to decrease heat output.
You should really get an aftermarket cooler for it, i would highly recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus.

EDIT : Ambient temperature effects your system's temperature.

1. If i lower my voltage would my cpu performance go down?
2. My current VID voltage value is min. 0.750 and max. 1.069 by how much should i change it? http://scr.hu/0q17m/7421h

if your CPU doesn't get enough power, your system performance might get unstable.
you should run a few test by lowering a little, and find out which spot will gets you a better temperature and stable performance
lower both max and min 0.025 each test,

my recommendations
keep the default settings ,get an aftermarket cooler will be better
