All core enhancement will use turbo multipliers on all cores, it's a sort of overclocking, which means that all cores will jump to turbo frequencies if you enable it. Aparrently, it is tied to the XMP profile as an optional setting for better overall performance. If your cooling is bad and you are not so experienced yet, select no until you get proper cooling or get used to your hardware. Even with high temperatures it is unlikely that you damage something as long as you have not messed with thermal settings in your bios that will throttle your cpu to prevent damage.
You should start using cpu temp monitoring tools and check your temps as you set up your pc. Maybe your current cooling set up is already sufficient for multicore enhancement, but you won't know till you start keeping an eye on your monitoring tools.

Click yes. Your cooler is more than sufficient, and thats the most mild overclock. You are risking nothing.

Before assuming its broken, how about checking that you properly applied the thermal paste. remove it, clean it and the CPU off. Put a tiny amount (grain of rice) on the middle of the CPU, and then properly reinstall it, then see what the temps are. Make sure the fans are turning as well.

yeah 93 is really bad, either your room is super hot or your cooler isn't working right.

The amazon link you sent doesn't work. But until you can get those temps WAY down, not only would I not use XMP, I would not play games or anything on there either.

You need to first try the thermal paste and make sure the fans are running and its mounted properly. If thats all fine then its time to replace the cooler.

Looks fine to me. Unless liquid is leaking out of it the radiator is fine.

Clearly though something is wrong. The fan isn't running, the pump isn't pumping, or its just not installed right.
