i read around and people have WAY lower temperatures with higher clocks with the same heat sink

Check your heatsink contact patch, did you bolt it on properly with the backplate? What thermal compound are you using? And also double check your voltages, CPU-Z works for that.
Also, which scythe fan are you using?
My 2500k at 4.5 is only capping at 60-70 with a 120mm jyuni pwm and a hyper 212+, so something's definitely wrong with yours. My bets are on a bad contact with the heatsink though, if it's that bad.
Also, run Intel Burn Test for testing instead, it's overkill cause it exceeds the load that anything else would put on it but that's what we want.
