Ryzen 2700X Wattage Weirdness

I'm using CPUID HWMonitor as I was having some weird behavior with my CPU. As I did some renderings in Solidworks for school stuff, I had temps >97C. I am using the stock Wraith Prism cooler and original thermal paste. HWMonitor says the CPU is pulling 200+ Watts/45 Amps and the CPU is rated for a 95 W TDP. If it were pulling that many watts I can see how the temps would be that high, but for obvious reasons I am skeptical of 200+ Watts from this chip. I have included a screenshot so you can see what I am talking about. 

 

Do I get some thermal paste and reapply to try it or just buy a Hyper 212 Evo like everyone else seems to?

That's probably just a miscalculation although your temp max with 97C looks reasonably unwell. Is this stock or with some sort of OC?

Just memory running at 3200MHz, everything else was just put in and ran from there.
