By running the tool it has automatically raged the volts really high.

So sadly, no its not good, its not good at all.

Is it stable i.e have you benched it in OCCT or a similar bench?

The most recommended test for CPU's is AIDA64, Make sure everything CPU related is checked and let it run for an hour.

From everything I've read, Prime95 isn't good to use with 22nm CPU's or smaller.

There was an interesting indepth post on xtremesystems a while ago about Prime95 not being a good choice for stress tests and those guys do some crazy LN2 runs so it's worth checking out, I'll see if I can find the thread.
