Make sure that it's seated properly. Those temps are really abnormal. If it's seated properly then make sure that the fan is actually working. If THAT is working then switch out the thermal paste.

Reinstall your cooler and use new thermal paste. Make sure thermal paste is spread evenly (not too much though) across the IHS. Make sure the cooler is seated properly against the CPU. It sounds like you CPU cooler is not installed properly.

For gaming temp upto 90-95°C btw you're right my cooler is not seated properly against cpu. When i check Seated 3 pins properly not 4 and thermal paste is dry and spread.but when i push pin is not fixing i don't get more push for damage btw i will try..
Thank you and sorry for my mistake down voted SORRY..

It takes a lot of force sometimes, more than you might think, make sure the push pin is reset first.

30-35 and <70 are nice. Cryorig make good coolers, hyper 212 is also nice and cheap too.
