i had same problem before 1 week and i noticed the airflow is wrong and my PC dirty inside so blow air inside to remove the dust check your airflow and check your cooling system system is cold inf.

No its not normal. It should be at about 80C max. Consider that at 105 the pc will shut down due to overheating so your CPU wont be damaged.

Make sure that your cooler is set correctly.

Have you done any overclock or any other recent changes on the system?
The temps went so high recently or you always remember having such high temps?

nope i just got my system only and there is no overclocking done on it.

The only thing that i was not sure was the installation of my cooler but i do see it running.

For reference about the max and min
