I need a better cooler

83y

I currently have the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
I recently bought a Ryzen 9 5950x and I am trying to overclock it, here is my current setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4Z63Q6 I am currently running it at 25 core curve optimizer magnitude with it being negative. I have put the settings down bellow that I am using with Ryzen Master while under a multi-core test on Cinebench R23. I don't want to overclock my CPU anymore because its being limited by the temperature which I don't want to go above 90.

 

So is my cooler limiting my CPU speed a ton? And what CPU cooler do I buy (I don't want liquid cooling)

My budget is preferably under $100.

Noctua NH-D15s cools my 5900x well.

What's the system being used for? Are you experiencing the same limits during normal use?
