Mixed temp results with a couple different tests, should I be concerned?

I just finished this build 2 days ago...

i7 4790k cpu
H100i GTX cooler
Asus Maximus vii Hero mobo

I ran prime95 blend test (8hrs), realbench benchmark, realbench stress test (8hrs), and played GTA 5 and Witcher 3 for most of today, and during all of this my temps never went above 72c. Although, when I run prime95 small fft my temps almost immediately shoot up to 90c+.

Is there something wrong with my cooling or should I not pay attention to the small fft test?

My pump and fans are working fine according to the corsair link software.

Any insight would be helpful, Thanks!

What are your voltages and overclock? prime95 temps are always substantially higher than benchmarks or gaming, so no, you should not be surprised by that... but 90c is way up there unless you're doing something silly like 1.4v+

Everything is still stock, I haven't changed a thing. I wanted to use it for a week or so before I began to start messing with stuff.

I should have googled more before posting, I found quite a few threads saying the current prime95 is not good to use with haswell and to download a previous version. My temps seem fine for now, so I'll worry more about temps when I begin to overclock.
