Is this an alienware prebuilt? those systems are known for small coolers and poor airflow.

90c at 30-40% usage means you have an issue.... Do you know what cooler your model has?

(Assuming this is a prebuilt)

I think it's the normal temp for that CPU.

33% is the average load, probably 1 or 2 cores are in full load.

4ghz is a boost frequency and the cpu will not stay there at all times. 2.9 is the base speed.
