Should I buy a thermal gel if I'm using amd's stock cooler?
What's your CPU temp when gaming?

It already comes pre-applied to the cooler, the AMD stuff is a bit less efficient but lasts way longer than third party paste.

not bad, until runtime broker starts using 200% of my goddamn CPU.

Thermal paste is necessary if you plan to take it off at any point. Otherwise, you will be fine with the paste that's already applied to the cooler.

I legitimately got to almost 100C playing default minecraft

I hit 92 in DOOM ETERNAL. i7 6700k @ 4.6 and my ram is ddr4 2666 @ 3100.

I'll stick with the stock paste then. My 3800x gets up to 75 degrees while emulating ps3 (haven't done proper stress testing) so I'm a bit worried if I scraped some of it off while mounting.

Ryzen throttles and boosts to stay at a general temp range. Taking basic temp data is in no way scientific, and doesn't tell you anything unless you have a significant issue. It's likely that your paste is fine, since it should be expected that a stock cooler bottlenecks a high end CPU.
