Is that idling at 80C or 80C after playing games? Either way, I suggest you remove your cooler and look at your CPU to see if there's any thermal paste on it. I think you may have installed your cooler incorrectly and it wasn't touching the CPU all the way. Once you remove the cooler, you'll need to clean off the thermal paste and apply new thermal paste.
