I just built a new PC with a Ryzen 7600X processor and a 5070 GPU. Today, I stress-tested the CPU using Cinebench and AIDA64, monitoring the temperatures with HWINFO. I noticed that the CPU temperatures are consistently in the 90-95°C range, which seems too high. I'm using a Frozen Prism 360mm AIO cooler, which should be sufficient. I'm wondering if there's something I'm overlooking, like the application of thermal paste. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Did you remember to peel off the protective plastic from the heatsink? It’s a common mistake that could mess things up!
Double-check that your AIO pump and fans are working properly and following a speed curve that increases with CPU temp. Also, ensure the thermal paste is evenly spread. Sometimes just re-seating the cooler can help.
It's normal for Ryzen chips to hit around 95 degrees under full load during stress tests. You might want to check out some videos on optimizing PBO settings, as that could help bring your temps down significantly.
If those temps are only during stress tests, it's typical behavior for a Ryzen CPU under load. Just keep an eye on performance to ensure everything is running smoothly.
How hot does your CPU get during normal use, like while gaming or browsing? That can give a better picture of whether the temps are a real concern. If it’s around 50°C while watching YouTube, that’s not bad.
