It likely won't die since there is thermal protection that will prevent it from overheating but it's never recommended for the CPU to sit at those temperatures on the off chance that it might degrade the chip, if you've never cleaned your PC before then it might help a ton to do so if there is a ton of dust accumulated on the CPU cooler

What are you using as your cooler. Maybe also add more fans to your case or put a large fan next to it blowing air on the system.

to 90c

Hot but not close to Intel's rating. Re seat the cooler and re apply thermal paste and dust off the machine. But it won't damage the cpu.

just a few weeks, the pc is new

I would try reseating the cooler. If that does not work, I would suggest getting a better cooler.
