That's way warm. What cooler are you using?
You don't want anything over 70c.

And about the VID, that is the highest VID Intel came out with on Q6600's. Generally, you get about 3Ghz, and that's it out of those. Unless you use crazy voltages, but I don't think you wanna do that.
And I think that's maybe why your temps are so high. If you left your v-core set to [Auto] then more then likely your board jacked up the v-core thinking it needed to. (which in most cases, those VID quads can do 3Ghz on 1.4v-core.)
So I would double check to make sure you don't have insanely high v-cores.
