Check if the temperature reaches a point where improved cooling becomes necessary.

Essentially, gaming was performing well, reaching around 68-69c.
You might prefer a higher temperature setting for better results.
Playing games in the mid to upper 70s is what my 5900X experiences with PBO turned on alongside custom water cooling. Prime95 can cause significant load during a session if you use a mix of settings. Running with smaller FFTs or picking 192 for the FFT size usually keeps your CPU from overheating much. I'd be surprised to hear it stays below 90°C.
This indicates your situation has limited air movement due to excessive heat retention. What type of case are you referring to?
