Running both Command Center and HW-Monitor (so you can match numbers), find out which Fans/FANIN0-2 is really the radiator fan (System Fan) on the R4. Then you can get some fan history rpms to go along with 92c . Run your game.
Basically, when the cpu cores are hitting 91c and 92c, I want to know what rpms the radiator/system fan is doing.
You can also just run Command Center, Prime95, and HW-Monitor (all in desktop windows) ... but be careful. CPU should thermal throttle at 105c, but still.
FANIN0 is the radiator/system fan and when cpu cores goes 91c my system fan spins for 2.5k RPM, although it doesn't effect my games performance, but I'm concerned about my pc itself as it has never been making so much noise. The link that you gave me wasn't too much of a help how to solve the issue, I'm thinking of re-installing my windows hoping it would fix that. But I'm no expert on temperatures/fans so It could be just a waste of time.

That link is the trouble-shooting steps.
At 91c, I'm pretty sure it should be spinning closer to 4000rpm (trying to keep temp down).
Have Asetek pump/heatsink re-installed with new thermal paste. Have it done professionally if you are not up to it.
Maybe first, be sure it's on there perfectly flat and tight.
