Is this normal for a ryzen 5 3600 while playing Ark with medium settings?

I'm very concerned for my new PC. It's my first gaming PC and I'm not sure if this is normal. I have a B550M mobo mortar, rtx 2060 super mini, vengance ddr4 16gb. I am using the stock cooler.. Wraith stealth. I have 2 intake fans in the front, 2 exhaust fans on the top, one more exhaust fans in the back. 

In this picture I am only running Ark as you can see, not even in the game yet.

Edit: For a new air-cooled CPU fan with good thermal paste, or for the existing CPU fan with good thermal paste, I think the fans on the top of the PC case facing down will provide better cooling. Goodluck...

It gets to 95C just running Cinebench r20, only cpu, the GPU stays at 32C. I'm also on Ryzen Balanced power plan. The scores I get are around 3300-3500 in cinebench r20.hotAMD.pnghotAMD.png

While your processor is not under load, your processor has reached a minimum of 50 degrees with 30 watts. Your PC case has good air circulation. I think your CPU cooler is still not in full contact.

Thank you, would the PPT, TDC, and EDC being at 90-100% be caused by not having full contact as well? This is while running Cinebench

Just a guess. You have a high temperature problem. First, thermal paste replacement should be tried. If the problem is not solved, a new CPU cooler should be purchased. I have already specified what is required according to the type of CPU cooler to be purchased.
