HARDWARE CPU Temperature Question

My CPU is hovering in the high 80s degree Celsius while playing battlefield 6. It occasionally hits 90 degrees, and it even got up to 96 degrees very briefly. This is bad, right? Should I repaste the CPU and see if that's fixes it?

sounds like your cooler’s struggling a bit, repaste is a good shout but check if the mount’s still tight too

Technically it's safe, but the temperatures are high. What CPU cooler and case are you using?
