I'm getting insane high temps on Ryzen 5 7600 as you can see in the pic

This is on a brand new build, it reached 95 C while playing Baldur Gate 3 on High (GPU 3060ti)
I tried also on a less demanding game (Guild Wars 2) and it reached 91C

Are those temps normal? Now it's idling at 65 C
The cooler is the stock one , My room temp is also kinda high (35 C), PC got a proper airflow (At least I think, mobo are at 45C and GPU 58C idling)
I've already checked the cooler, cleaned it and applied new paste but nothing changed.

Any suggestions? Could some pieces be faulty? Maybe I've installed the cpu badly (is this even possible?) I really don't know what to do...

The case is this:

From an old pre built I had
Cpu Cooler: "Can't... breathe..."
Fans draw air in the form of a cone in front of them, and what's in front of the Wraith cooler? A solid glass panel.
The front case fans are doing little for the Wraith, simply because they're not in front of it - also, their air intake is crippled by solid glass.
Most gpu coolers dump their waste heat right into the Wraith cooler.
Glass insulates heat, so it helps keep some heat inside the case.

Remove the side panel only and check cpu operating thermals again.

I'm getting better results without the glass panel:
61°C Idling (-4° C) and 80 playing (-10/15°C)

Should I change the case? Or a new cooler will do?

That is a pretty significant change in playing.

Solutions
A)Get a new case. For example, the Fractal Design North, the variant with the mesh side panel, or similarly designed case. The case should fit your tastes, first and foremost.
B)If you want to get a bit creative, DIY a mesh side panel to replace the current one.
C)Tower air cooler. Front to back air movement. Can even draw some air from the roof of the case, as long as case fans in said roof don't disturb the air the cooler is trying to draw in.
D)AIO. I have doubts that this one would be much better than the current situation, for nothing other than trying to brute force lower thermals by throwing more liquid at it. And that only goes so far, because any AIO or air cooler needs an adequate amount of air to do their jobs properly.
