50% usage 80'celcius while gaming

[rawfiul]

something strange, my usgae goes from 50% to 80% and its still 80 degrees

stock cooler
1 intake chassis fan in the front of chassis
1060 6gb
asus prime b360m k

this is my 1st build and its not even a week old and im just worried about temps

when i manually set my cpu fan to 100% temps are 60-70

Sounds like you should consider putting more fans in your case and as well as an aftermarket CPU cooler. What case do you have?
If possible, have an exhaust fan on the side of the case (next to GPU) as well as an exhaust fan for the back of the case or the top.

As far as aftermarket coolers, you can't go too wrong (especially with air-cooled ones). I have a Coolermaster TX3 and it keeps my i5 4690 at <45 degrees at all times. I would first put in a few fans and if your temps are still high, consider a CPU cooler.

Probably cooler not installed correctly (bad contact, uneven pressure, too much or too little thermal paste).

one would have to guess the supplied Intel cooler with pre-applied paste was likely used, right?

(I don't think you are going to see 59-65C gaming temps with an Intel provided 65w TDP-rated cooler)

im using this gel. its cheap actually. Is that the issue? http://eu.coolermaster.com/en/cooling/thermal-compound/mastergel/

nd once i applied the gel, i removed the cooler to see if its spread properly, is that ok or should i just apply the gel for seal it once and for all. please help this is my 1st built

So you installed stock cooler, removed it and reinstalled it again. Right?

Did you turn black push pins to previous orientation after removing the cooler?
When you don't do this and reinstall cooler, it results in loose contact between cooler and cpu.

After you remove the cooler, you have to clean thermal paste and reapply it.

Although the Intel stock coolers are alright, they hate high temperatures. I was having serious throttling on my i5 4690 during summer (similar temps to you down in Australia) and an aftermarket cooler helped heaps.
