Ryzen 7 5800x running warmer than expected. Normal?

I have a ryzen 7 5800x with a corsair rgb pro xt 240mm aio cooler, and hwinfo is reporting 35-50c while idling which is normal but as soon as I start doing a couple tasks my cpu goes into the high 60's and even reached 79c during a steam download them it stopped, but the cpu was only at 40% load at its highest I saw. I had to ditch the Armory crate software because of how much bloatware was installed and being used all the time. I have played a couple of steam games like phasmophobia in vr and the cpu was somewhere in the 70's but it was not as high as I saw before. I used to have a corsair h100iv2 with an overclocked ryzen 5 1600 and I never saw the temps go above like 75c under full load. I have the enthoo pro m case which seems to have good enough airflow but the only thing that I can think of why the temps would be higher is because instead of having the radiator mounted on the front with an intake I have it mounted on top with exhaust fans, but my main concern is that I haven't even really stress tested this cpu and I'm getting these temps with an aio. The only thing that I have done so far is change the ram speed to 3200mhz.

I have currently tried to reapply the aio to the cpu and I am getting the same temps. I will try to play some more intensive games to get a more accurate reading. Are these temps normal for the 5800x even with an aio?

Edit: I ran cinebench r23 here are the results and temps: https://imgur.com/a/c6Elm07 

As soon as I started the test the temps went from 60 to 75 instantly and climbed all the way to 89.4c at max, and stayed within a couple of degrees of that during the whole test. Could the h100i xt cooler be the reason for this? Or should I just undervolt the cpu if I want lower temperatures?
