You can try to turn off the Asus enhancement again, but I don't think you'll see enough improvement unless you improve your cooler situation. I think there's either something wrong with the paste/mount, or the cooler itself might not be adequate. At 253W, any air cooler is going to struggle a bit to keep the temperatures below 100C in Cinebench. Any other load should be fine, but CB is especially hard on CPUs. The only way to really bring that down if you can't improve cooling is to reduce the power, which can be done a number of ways (outlined in all the comment suggestions here, adjusting Asus profiles, power limits, LL, voltage, etc.).
You can buy a cooler upgrade for ~$100 (DRP5 if you want to stay with be quiet!), but if I was spending up to $100, I'd personally go with the $87 280mm Arctic LFIII which is cheaper and outperforms every air cooler out there:
^note this testing is at ~250W sustained with a similar application. The new Dark Rock Elite (~$119, which should perform quite a bit better than the dark rock pro 4) hit 92.4C while the LF3-280 hit 80.1C. GN tested it against the dark rock pro 4 (among others) and it was doing about 10C better at 200W. They didn't test the dark rock pro 4 in their 250W test (which was focused on contact frames).
