Question Are my temps high & what should I do? (87C - Noctua NH-U12A, 3900x oc, rx580)

Hi guys, I am running a slight overclock (4.15GHz, 1.225V) on my Ryzen 9 3900x. Running folding at home (gpu/cpu full utilization) I noticed my CPU temps were at 95C, going down to 87C on open case. My GPU is also blowing hot air up right from underneath the CPU.

Is this normal? Should I re-apply the thermal paste? (I used Noctuas default paste) Did I perhaps just lose the silicon lottery? Should I get a different style of GPU next time?

And also, is it okay to run these temps for extended periods? Should I undervolt or something? Also, is CPU temperature affected by the clockspeed in addition to the voltage?

Excuse me for having a crab-ton of questions. I am just curios and answers are difficult to find. Thank you all so much!
