I have a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU where I've set a core offset (CO) of -20 and increased Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) by +200 MHz. My temperatures are reaching 89-91 degrees Celsius, but my Cinebench R23 score is only around 830 on the multi-core test. Is this score typical for my setup? Additionally, how can I effectively lower my temperatures without sacrificing performance?

To reduce temps without losing much performance, undervolting is a solid option. However, -20 might be too aggressive for stability. Tweaking your PPT, TDC, and EDC settings can help lower temperatures while keeping performance intact, but expect a slight drop in performance. What cooler are you using? Hitting 90C isn't terrible, but it's definitely pushing it.
I'm aiming for settings like 120-80/90-120 for PPT, TDC, and EDC. Does that sound good?
Your score seems a bit low for the Ryzen 7 5800X, especially considering you're getting close to the temperature limits. If you're overclocking, you might want to switch to an AIO cooler to help manage those temps better.
I'm using the MasterLiquid ML240L V2. Do you have any recommendations for a core offset? I'm considering going to -25.
