As noted by Hardware Unboxed, AMD says that this is intended, all their Zen 4 chips will boost up to 95 degrees, so with a better cooler you can reach better clock speeds.

Their 7600X boosts to 5.45 Ghz, which is 150 Mhz above max specs because their cooler could take it.

I wonder however where the differences come from with the 5800X3D between HU and LTT, as they're very different results here.

Yea but obviously this means a worse cooler will get lower clocks which will get worse performance than in their benchmarks. 7600X running at 93C with a 360 AIO isn't exactly a good thing not to mention, the room will get hotter more quickly than previous gens. The fact that a 5800X3D runs cooler than a 7600X while delivering similar performance + having two extra cores is crazy.

I'll wait for the other tests from HU before I judge the chips. Having the entry-level chip, the 7600X, beat the 5800X3D (a more expensive CPU, though if you have the Mobo and Ram still a cheaper upgrade), is nothing to scoff at.

Again, I wonder why on LTT the 5800X3D stood out so much in some reviews when it got beaten or was just marginally in front at HU in those same games with a weaker CPU.
