I have a pc with a amd athlon x4 860k and it is running with an radeon hd5970 on an asrock fm2a88x pro motherboard. But if i do nothing the cpu is around 80 degrees celsius and if i play a game he is over the 100 degrees celsius. i have bought a cooler master hyper 212 evo and it helped nothing. Does someone know how to fix this problem ?

Use only AMD software, go and download overdrive from amd.
There you can monitor your thermal margin, higher the value of thermal margin is better.
When margin reach 0 or near 0 temp its shutdown your pc to prevent overheating.
