I'll also just add Speccy as a potential free temp monitoring tool. It gives the current degrees temp on various hardware (CPU, SSD, GPU etc), but you can go into each section for more detail and a longer 'log' visualization if you need to.
Nothing looks too strange, except for the obviously incorrect minimum core temps.
What's HWiNFO say?
That's entirely normal for the last several generations of Intel parts.
Intel 10th Gen CPU Power Consumption Explained: PL1, PL2, and Tau | Hardware Times
ne of the hardest things to determine about a processor is its load power consumption. That’s doubly true for Intel’s 10th Gen CPUs. While the marketed TDP is usually around 95-125W, under load, most high-end chips consume as much as 225W. The 10th Gen processors take it to another level, with...

I'm not exactly sure what HWMonitor is doing, but it's probably reporting the highest temp sensor on the die as "package".
Dell are saying that all is good after stress testing cpu and gpu.
"The max temp showed on picture is basically a single peak cpu package (or core 5 alone) reached during load, average temps are much much lower and within ranges"
Also:
"Core 5 is running hotter than others by few celsius but it is still within specs and range, doesn't cause any kind of throttling either based on what I see in logs."
I dont agree with this as I sent him a log from HWInfo today after playing Cyberpunk for 40 mins and it said thermal throttling - yes and the max temp was 89

Its not unusual for a core or two be hotter than other cores by a few degrees, it could be down to the ihs, poor binning or simply the cooler and thermal paste used, my 8700k under heavy load will have 5 cores at 70-74 and one closer to 80, i spent ages reseating and testing my cooling but made little difference the difference is always there.

"thank You for the replies. Yes I can say that the temps You have are safe to use. CPU manufacturer confirming this CPU 11900F is running up to 100c which isn't your case of course but it should work OK even above 90c. Again this temp is peak temp and not average temp, your average temps are around 65c or even below which is absolutely normal. Since last few years there is Intel feature called Thermal velocity boost which unlocks extra CPU performance if required and possible, lets say your CPU core is running at 3.2 - 3.3 ghz and then if app / game demand some extra performance, cpu will boost (overclock for short time) certain CPU core from 3.2 to 4.9ghz and this can easily generate such peak to higher temp. Once certain threshold is reached on core, it goes back to lower frequency or the cooling fan increase RPM and get the temp down. "
