AMD FX 8370 Overheating HELP!

[ng9000]

Help me please!
I bought this pc almost 2 months back and still I haven't been able to use it properly. I'll list my problems as detailed as possible.

My full set up is:
AMD FX8370 WRAITH COOLER
MB GIGABYTE 970-GAMING
RAM 8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE
HDD INT WD 1TB SATA 7200 RPM
CABINET COOLER MASTER ELITE 311
GRAPHICS ASUS GTX 960 STRIX 4GB
SMPS CORSIAR Vs 650W
DELL MONITOR S2216H 21.5”LED
DVD WRITER LG GH24NS94

On the first day when I switched on my pc and it was running without load, there was no problems whatsoever. On running a 5-6 years old game it still did not show any problems. But on running newer titles like GTA V or COD Advanced Warfare, it shut itself down within 5 minutes. Openhardwaremonitor and Heavyload proved that the CPU was overheating to 72.9 C before it shut itself down. GPU did not show and problems when stressed. I updated the individual drivers but still no change. AMD replaced the full CPU with the cooler and the new one showed the same problems. I went to GIGABYTE and updated the BIOS. Now it peaks to 79 C before shutting down. GIGABYTE recommended purchasing a liquid cooler but the ones they are suggesting require a different Cabinate. My question is using a more powerful cooler is just suppressing the symptoms but what is causing the overheating? This forum is my last hope. Please help me in anyway you can.

I've not needed to overclock it yet - it plays everything @ high / ultra with an r9 270 on my monitor (although I probably will once I have Win10 running inside Arch Linux with the AMD card passed through to the vm).

a stable overclock is probably 4.65ghz

I will be using these tools to overclock in Linux.

You know ive went through everything this guy is going through except im running 24 gigs of ddr3 1600 mhz an rx 480 8 gb and an asus m5a99fx pro r2.0 motherboard. Im not sure if that fits into the equation or not. I have had both cpu and mobo replaced and motherboard twice. Trying to find a solution for this isn't easy at all and i have no clue what to do with voltage. Hell i load playing a game from 2004 up to 87c then pc shuts down. If i have the Pc running in power saver mode from windows it runs fine and hits the 62 load mark just fine, i can even play SOME games like that without them being to laggy. When i change to balanced or performance mode i get way better frame rates and smoothness at the cost of this son of a b____ overheating in about 15-30 minutes if play a game and depending on the title. I would like a solution. Also my case is a deepcool tessaract. I see that this case was never solved please help. Ill lower the voltage if need be, but i would rather have a guide with me so i can know exactly what to do without frying my machine or messing something up. Hell my ryzen 1800x just went down to accidental water spill had to get new mobo and psu. The rest of my parts im not so sure as I have no way to test them but the GPU is fine im using now. I was streaming editing rending and uploading vids while streaming and playing games at the same damn time with temps getting to 70 which is fine it was under full load, now i go to my bACKUP PC which is this 8370 and i cant even render a video longer than 30 minutes or it shuts off! Help!
