So basically as the Title says.
Currently on Forza Horizon 5 I get between 75-87C while playing.
I have Ryzen 5 3600 with Corsair h100i V2, rx 5700xt gigabyte.
I don't really lose Performance that much but I am worried about the temps. Is it safe? is it abnormal? is there a way to fix it?
Recently I applied new thermal paste and I'm pretty sure the paste and the cooler are okay. so any idea how to resolve this?

It's probably normal as the temps are only 'spikes' as the processor is boosting a core. That is typcical of the way a Ryzen CPU works. It's also perfectly safe as the CPU is rated with a Tjmax of 95C.

You really only need to be concerned if the average temp is holding at or around 95C. You can see the average temp in...
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: if on Windows 10, include OS version(not edition)

Age of the PSU in your build? BIOS version for said motherboard? As for your case, include the airflow in your case and the number of fans in said case. What app did you use to monitor your temps? How old is the cooler in your build? AIO orientation? A picture of your build should remove two of the questions(fans/cooler orientation) above.

Have you taxed the system with another title to corroborate the temp findings?

You really only need to be concerned if the average temp is holding at or around 95C. You can see the average temp in HWInfo64, look for the CPU die (average) sensor reading, click on the reading and create a graph to watch see it for a while.
