have you used core temp?If your CPU temps are 100°C then you need to stop, immediately, using the system, and figure out why because you have a serious overheating problem and are going to destroy your hardware. No two ways about it, there are NO, ZERO, platforms where 100°C temperatures, or any temperatures over 80-85°C for that matter, are ok.
its been 5-6 years since I bought my pc. I think I might need a new thermal paste. I mean time could be a factor ..right?you need to check your CPU cooler, either you have a fan failure or the contact patch has changed.
may need new thermal paste etc... or you accidentally changed your fan curve - CPU is obviously throttling

6 yo PC...HDD for games storage? how long since you've de-fragged it? Even an SSD will need occasional optimizing.its been 5-6 years since I bought my pc. I think I might need a new thermal paste. I mean time could be a factor ..right?
When/how do you know you need to optimize your ssd, and what's the process involved?Even an SSD will need occasional optimizing.

Best not to confuse the OP's question with side issues.When/how do you know you need to optimize your ssd, and what's the process involved?
Not really true...in my experience.Best not to confuse the OP's question with side issues.
A SSD never needs defragging or other optimizations.

First, Windows10 is smart enough to differentiate an SSD and an HDD and it will not defrag an SSD so that's not a danger if using Windows to do it. Second all OPTIMIZING an SSD does is run the TRIM command on the SSD; which is perfectly and a useful thing to do.
Windows SUPPOSEDLY does it (optimize or TRIM) on a scheduled task; but in my experience that task is unreliable and hardly ever runs. Not sure why, maybe it's something that's broke in my installation, but it's an indicator that it CAN break so maybe it's affecting OP.
Third..when an SSD gets really full it can start running slow, especially older SSD's. Even an SSD takes time to seek. Keeping it 'TRIMMED', i.e., returning deleted blocks to be used in it's normal operation, helps.
I checked the cpu temps while playing the temps are around 100 degree celcius and also when I start Far Cry 5 it starts very slowly even a loading symbol appears in right down corner which I didn't even saw previously.
