Core i7-12700F 2.10 GHz reaching 100 celsius while gaming

Just bought and built my first PC, and I'm using the stock fan as CPU cooler. PC seems to work fine, temps are normal (35 celsius for the CPU while waiting at the desktop, 30 for the GPU), tried to boot up Bioshock 2 on max settings to check the gaming performance.

 

CPU reached 100 celsius in about 2 minutes, went down to 40 in a minute when i shut the game down. 

Should I be worried about the temp, if so what steps should I follow?

 

My specs:Core i7-12700F 2.10 GHz

ASUS Prime B760M-K D4 motherboard

NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4070 Super

32 GB RAM

Since you have 4070, so you should not use a stock cooler, instead use an AIO  360 liquid cooling system, and add additional case fans if your cabinet supports it.

 

Also set game graphics settings as High or Medium, and graphics advanced settings set possible options to low or off. Keep these settings for all the games
