I just got a new PC setup, and my CPU is reaching temperatures of 80c while playing games like pubg. My coolermaster masterbox lite 5 case has also been getting considerable warmer while gaming. I don't know if it's my stock Intel cooler, my case, or my apevia led ring case fans. Plz help

Using software like HWiNFO64 (it's free) you can compare the CPU temperature AND the motherboard temperature. If the motherboard is cool, but the CPU is hot, then your issue is the CPU cooler. But if the motherboard is also really warm, then the airflow in your case needs tuning.
