Those temps are perfectly safe and the gaming temp is actually really good, mine kept around 93C (reference design). You could however replace the thermal paste with MX4 which should help lower the temp at least a few degree's Celsius. Another option is adding a liquid cooler on it using a bracket such as the NZXT G10 and then using a recommended AIO cooler.
