5600x running at 96C

Post some pictures of your computer.
It looks like your airflow is restricted causing the high temps. 60 degrees plus at idle is very high.
How have you installed your cabinet fans? How many are pulling air in, and how many are pushing air out?
Who installed your cooler? How much, and which thermal paste did you use?
To see what the best temps you can achieve with your current setup, run the computer with the side panels off, and keep it on top of your desk where there's enough airflow.

Turning on eco mode does limit the temps to around 85C however the clock speeds are around a 1000 Mhz slower. Will benchmark both modes to see actual performance loss.
The pc is placed in a bit of a cramped space so airflow may be restricted.
The cooler was installed for the first time by the Primeabgb people in mumbai and twice since by me. Used a pea sized amount and the paste was the one included with the noctua cooler, the exact model I dont remember.
What you are going through is not normal behavior.
The 5600x doesn't keep boosting until it hits 95C the way the ryzen 7000 does.
In an ambient of 32C, idle shouldn't be more than 50C. Either your cooler isn't making adequate contact or its a voltage issue.
I would say open the instruction manual again and make sure its the correct mounti6ng hardware, spacers and the correct backplate.
My cpu block came with its own backplate and little plastic washers. I thought the backplates are the same and used the stock mobo backplate. Ended up with issues very similar to yours.
The threads tightened down but the mounting pressure wasn't enough. I could barely tell the two backplates apart visually. With the correct backplate installed, temps didn't go as high and even took longer to hit max. Wasn't like an instant jump to 95C. That usually means a bad mount.
Check for a bios update as well. If its a voltage issue, that will help.

Solid advice there.
85C on eco mode? Yikes. Definitely provide us with as many photos of your PC from outside and inside as well. We are all running blind here.
Show photo of where it's placed as well.
