Yeah that is to be expected. I had to stop using x264 on OBS because of the heat. At least for the summer. Mine being a Ryzen 1700 @3.8.
I even changed cases and changed all my system fans. What a lot of people don't realize is you can have a decently reviewed cooler but not realize it has a tdp limit. You can have mega fans on it, but if the heatsink can't pull from the CPU quick enough, then it will begin to throttle. Your cooler has 3 8mm heatpipes. 8mm is nice but only 3 so I'm not sure how effective it is. I have a scythe Mugen 5 at the moment,but I wish i had the fuma instead. Look for reviews of CPU coolers that have 150+ watt test benches. |

The AIDA64 FPU test approximately reflects the power that x264 draws (yes, I checked that with my i5-2500K ). Taking into account your more powerful CPU and extreme ambient temperature it's not hard to see how you reach 80 - 90 degrees Celsius. If you want your CPU to last long you should go for water cooling, BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3/4, Noctua NH-D15 or similar.

And finally, the thermal compound used can make a big difference.
After 2..3 years all my systems (2 towers, 6 laptops over time) began to suffer from hardened stock thermal compound, throttling setting in sooner and sooner. Besides the necessary heatsink fin cleaning I removed that mostly white stuff (Dell had silverish stuff) and tried conductonaut on 3 systems (Indium/Gallium liquid) -> Expensive, awesome, coolest ever, but cannot be used with aluminium heatsinks, destroys them by making an alloy. After some months I found by accident (CPU upgrade) that conductonaut even made cold alloy with the sink-side copper heatspreader, the remnants behaving chippish and leaving scars... I had to scratch/grind/polish that off. Back to Kryonaut, (seems to be very fine silver in a sticky grease), sacrificing some 2..3°C, happy camper now. The main encoding laptop now runs x264 on a i7-4960X slightly OC @ 3,8Ghz, 6 cores give +86..+91°C, no throttling.

First close to +100°C, after cleaning and compound changing now +80°C:
As sneaker_ger said, I would call your results to be expected and normal then, all is well.
