Cinebench is a very CPU intensive test of course. When I run it, my CPU jumps to mid 80s immediately and then climbs closer to 90C during the test. It all depends on your cooler, thermal contact etc etc. I have a 360mm cooler, so there will be more fluid circulating and therefore more capacity to manage the heat. In addition, maybe your cooler isn't optimally mounted in terms of thermal paste etc. Might be worth re-mounting it if you are still worried and just check the paste, even pressure on all screws etc - but don't overtighten. Ambient temperature will make a big difference as well.
Quite honestly, if it passes the full multi-core test without any problems and your score is about right, then I wouldn't worry. If your CPU is running at sensible temperatures most of the time, then I think your behaviour is not unusual.
What score do you get? Just interested. I get about 26,000 points with a 12900K.

How does it manage in games? That's a more realistic test I think, as you will always be able to find a stress test that will max it out.

Tried disabling MCE? It's tough to tame these when they are unlocked but 80+ while gaming is excessive.

I don't have MCE. It seems to be AEP now (Asus Enhanced Performance 3.0, capture below).
While disabled, temp goes 100c even faster because CPU get 1.4V and more. In this configuration, I can hit 100c wih CPU-Z stress test.
While enabled, CPU get 1.34V max and temp raises slower to 95c (still CPU-Z stress test).
I tried the option to maintain temp under 90c and results are quite interesting.
Temp is effectively around 90c and performance is acceptable (Cinebench rating is around 22K instead of 23-24K).
I think I will go this way (and check cooler/thermal paste asap).
Thank you all for your advice.
