Actually, I've heard Ivy Bridge chips run hotter than Sandy Bridge, try dropping the oc to 4.0 and see how it is. Otherwise try remounting the hs with MX-4 thermal paste. Read guides on mounting the hyper 212+, the base has an annoying feature to consider when applying paste.

Edit: the 2500k was at 60-70C running the burn test, it's back to stock now and doesn't break 50C. But then Ivy's made with a different process, I don't know how it reacts to overclocking on what is really a budget cooler, albeit a very good one. Yours is doing pretty much what mine did when I tried a 5.0 oc so it could be the hs can't transfer that much heat away from the CPU.
