Yes 98 Centigrade is bad. There can be several reasons.
You forgot to apply thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink.
The heatsink fan is not working or is failing
Poor ventilation inside the case.

You are posting in a hardware forum and no one has any idea what hardware you are running post ALL of your exact system specs. The TSG utility will help with most specs. Run it and post the output here.
Next you are using a third party monitoring program. IMO it is always best to use the motherboard mfg's monitoring program. It is purpose designed for that specific hardware. Since you have not posted what board you are running, it is impossible to tell you where to download the monitoring program.

From your screenshot, it appears you are running a 9700F. The max temp for that processor is 100C as per the spec sheet. What is probably happening is that the processor is overheating and throttling itself to maintain temp at the upper limit. Here is a link to the spec sheet for your processor;
Intel Core i79700F Processor 12M Cache up to 4.70 GHz Product Specifications

Once you post what hardware you are running, we might be able to point you at what is causing the problem. Be sure and post the exact case you are running as well.

I see you have a Digital Storm Lumos. Are you the original buyer? Don't they come with lifetime support? Maybe you should try contacting them first.

Here is a link to the support page for your motherboard;
Support page
The monitoring software is called msi center. I never use msi boards so I am not familiar with the program. Most (if not all) of the board mfg's programs are also overclocking programs. Do not make any changes; just use the monitor part of the program.

If you do in fact still have a warranty, then the very first thing to do is contact the builder. If you start messing with things, you can void that warranty.

Scroll back and you will see that the OP is going to contact Digital Storm because they have lifetime support for his computer.
