Howdy y'all! I've recently built a Intel i7-10700k based system, and I'm having concerns about my temperatures.
The CPU is installed on a Gigabyte Arorus Pro AX motherboard and is cooled with a bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler with Artic MX-4 thermal paste.
Here is a photo of the thermal paste application: (https://postimg.cc/wtCxGzxw)
The system rests in a Meshify C case with three intake and one intake fans.

According to the Motherboard BIOS readout, OpenHardwareMonitor, and CPUID HWMonitor, the CPU package rests at 35C-45C when at idle, and at 50C-65C when playing games or when running Cinebench R23 Single Core.
However, when running Cinebench R23 Multicore or Fold@Home using all cores, the CPU will run at 80C with spikes above 85C.
Is this proper for a i7-10700k?
If not:

If not:
- Do I need to just remount the cooler?
- Did I use too little or too much thermal paste? Do I need to use a better paste?
- Do I need to replace the cooler with an AIO?
- Do I need to replace the CPU?
