The problem with 8700K's is that they do not have have their IHS soldered so temp consistency between them isn't as uniform among them. Having said that there could be any number of things contributing to the temps. Could be where your case is at it isn't getting good air flow, could be a uneven mount of the cooler, could be a concave/convex IHS in which case only lapping the CPU would help.....ect.
I'm seeing mid 60's in game in the pic you provided and that's just fine at load. The max temps you can pretty much ignore as they are just spikes and not indicative of your average consistent running temps unless they are spiking to 100C or so.
