Definitely too high! You want to try to keep your temps below 50C if possible for 24hr OC. I try to keep at or below 52C, and you want to try to never go over 60C for any extended amount of time. As a side note, I am also currently running the same cpu/motherboard that you are

Yeah AUTO voltages for the CPUv, and the CPU-NBv is a bad idea. The BIOS will scale it to levels it does need to be at.
