Hi,
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Black
PSU: EVGA Super Nova NEX750B 750W Bronze Semi Modular
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z270H Gaming
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700k 4.2GHZ (Kaby Lake)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212x
RAM: 16GB HyperX (2x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4
Graphic Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW – 8GB
Hard Drives:
500GB – Samsung 960 EVO M.2-2280 PCI Express 3.0 (NVMe)
250GB – Samsung 850 Evo SSD
3x 2TB Toshiba P300
At the moment the highest the CPU Package has got to 88c and I know the max intel says it 100c and that when I was play Civ 6.
It is not overclocked.

If you already have a 212x you shouldnt be seeing those kinds of temps.
How much/what kind of thermal paste did you use? How are your case fan layouts.
A typical 120mm water cooler would perform about the same as your 212, to give you an example.

I did a thin layer of Cooler Master MasterGel Maker - 4g Thermal Paste.
There are 2 case fans in total, front fan, at the bottom and a rear fan about half way up.
The CPU Fan it point at the rear fan.
At this time the temps on the CPU Package is: 49c, with the max of 62c

Can you post a picture of your layout?
You do need a few more case fans, at minimum at least 1 more intake fan at the front/bottom.
When you say the CPU fan is pointed at the exhaust, do you mean the fan is on that side, or its on the far side of the cooler, blowing at air the exhaust.

Your cooler is facing the wrong way, which can impact temps a little bit. The fan should be on the other side (no need to remount the cooler, its clipped on).
I would also say you need more airflow before a new cooler for sure, make a bottom intake or a second front fan (those HDDs do block some air).
It also appears you need to clean more often (its an old picture sure, but regular cleaning always helps)
