I did a stress test on Prime95 for my AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (not for very long, probably about 45 secs to 1 minute), and it's temp hit 95 degrees (what a coincidence lol). This seems incredibly concerning, as some systems only hit 45 even with air coolers (I have an AIO).

The AIO I have is the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core ARGB.

CPU thermally performs fine when gaming or idle (never goes above 55-60).
 
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

How old is the AIO in your build? How is the AIO mounted in your case? If stress testing it causes those temps, and your max temps when gaming is 60 Deg C, you're in good hands.

Did you use Curve Optimizer?

The specs of my build are as follows (also I built it and fully set it up two days ago):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core ARGB (mounted at the top of my case)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M D3HP AX (BIOS version F20)
RAM: Kingston Fury Beast ARGB (2x16GB, 6000MT/s with EXPO)
SSD: Kingston NV3 1TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2-2280
GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 1650 (from my old system, will be temporarily used until I am able to upgrade)
PSU: Corsair RMe 750W 80+ Gold
Chassis/Case: Montech Air 100 ARGB mATX
OS: Windows 11 Home
Monitor: iiyama ProLite PL2280HS

Notes:
AIO was released in June 2023 and is mounted at the top of the case.
PSU was released in 2023.
 
The 7600x is made to boost too its tj max it will always boost to under heavy cpu usage 95c unless like i did slap a arctic freezer ii 420mm on it and it wouldnt go past 75c cinebench r23 all core..

in gaming scenario's it will drop as the GPU takes more load..

being as prime 95 is a CPU torture test it will boost up to 95c ..

That said the 7600x and most other x versions will and are rated to safely boost to 95c without issues ( AMD approves )

I personally dont like it max temping like that but thats me ..

but its fine by AMDs own design !!
