5950x High Load Temps

Troubleshooting

Just upgraded to a 5950x and getting pretty high load temps after a few minutes of heavy load gaming (90-91 degree high after a couple minutes of cyberpunk in 4K). In 3D mark CPU load test I’m getting a lower than reported score for my CPU and the temps are about 83 average. This was a drop in upgrade on my AM4 Asus ROG Strix X570-E motherboard and I’m reusing the noctua NHD15 cooler that I had previously which I’ve read should be sufficient to get at least 70-80 degrees. Used about of pea of Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste on the new CPU and wiped old dried out paste off of the heat spreader on the cooler with isopropyl alcohol before replacing it. Any thoughts on what I should try would be appreciated.
