if you can see my cpu temp is 91-92C. that is a *HUGE* problem for me and I really need the help from anyone. and when im gaming i get about 60% Utilization and 0.25 Speed. For god sakes I get 10 fps max in minecraft. Maybe I need a better cooler? I don't know, maybe an ssd? Someone please help me with this, I spent $1600 on this pc

Those temperatures are not normal, I would refrain from using the computer until this is sorted. Verify that your CPU cooler is properly attached to the CPU, if one of the feet are not down all the way then it could cause this. What cooler are you using? Even the worst coolers on the market should do a better job than this.

Well, i'll tell you the model but i'll need to find it out first. Im not sure if it's my cooler but i don't actually think it fits my mobo. I see thermal paste on my cpu, just not my cpu cooler. Could It be my cooler? Does anyone know what heat sink will fit my mobo? that is my problem. I don't understand what cooler will fit my mobo

The fact that youve just used a random cooler you found in your room and youre not even sure if it fits is very concerning. Your CPU temperatures are dangerous and you risk damaging your CPU that you spent a lot of money on.

Buy a new cooler and don't use your computer until you've fitted it. I reccomend a Noctua U-14S.
