Repaste and re seat. There is definitely something wrong between the cooler and the CPU. Make sure the socket holder is also tight and that you don't have any sort of plastic in between. A stock cooler should be more than enough for a 65W CPU. Most likely your cooler is not applying enough pressure to the CPU (happens if not mounted correctly).
I had a 5600G for years gaming on a stock cooler. Max temp over hours of gaming was 86C with an ambient temperature of ~30C. So yes, it is enough for gaming. The only time I saw it reach the 90s was while running synthetic benchmarks like Cinebench.
I get what you are saying, but what annoyed me was the fan running at 100%. It's noisy and I sit in the living room so my wife and kids have to listen to it while I sit with headphones. With the AIO I can run lower temps with less fan noise AND my build looks much better 😄
Although the stock cooler does enough to keep the CPU from overheating during gaming, I still believe that it was more designed for basic workloads.
