Though your temps do seem to be getting quite high at 91°C. Random spikes aren't entirely out of the ordinary. Curious that it's jumping to 130% but unless you're getting noticeable performance dips while in game I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you have a second monitor or can run your game in windowed mode. Use Task Manager to see which program is demanding so much of your CPU. More than likely it's just the game. In which case it's probably just when it's loading something. This a completely normal behavior as to reduce loading times it will use as much remaining resources as it can to get everything going.

Utilization and usage are two different things. It is the Utilization data that is spiking. 

 

Utilization data is based on the base frequency of a processor. The higher the percentage of turbo boost an Intel CPU uses, the higher the Utilization value will go. The Task Manager also graphs this Utilization nonsense but the Task Manager decided to clip the maximum values to 100% so no one would notice how meaningless these numbers are. The Details tab shows CPU Usage. The graphs do not.

 

If you want to look at CPU usage data, try using HWiNFO.

also i will say its staying at 102% while im in game also its only some cores that are like that

Yeah, I'd say you aren't experiencing anything abnormal. Unless you're getting noticeable frame drops and stutters I wouldn't worry about it. Might want to look into upgrading your cooling solution tho. 91°C isn't going to hurt anything but you might see a bit better performance if you can get that down to like 80 consistently.

what CPU do you have and which model cooler are you using? The airflow through your case may also be playing a factor. Without that information I can only speculate. Also if you don't mind, if you can take a picture of the inside of your case emphasizing fan placement and orientation.
