High CPU Temp 80C while Gaming

[PCMasterRace4816]

Last year when I first built my system CPU temps were pretty okay. I would be getting 30C idle and 50C - 60C in games like Battlefront and Battlefield 4 and Arma, pretty much any AAA title, but over time they have gotten higher and higher gradually. For the last six months they have stayed in the high 60C's and the low 70C's. Just a few days ago they seem to have spiked up. In Battlefront they went up to 80C and in CSGO the temp stays in the 80C's with the highest Iv'e seen being 88C. My room is always 60F (15C) given that it is winter where I live. Tonight I used compressed air to completely clear the dust out my system. The radiator to the liquid cooling was fairly dusty. With that being said I started my system up and to my dismay the temps in the games were still in the 80C's but just a few degrees lower on average. Whats wrong? Is the liquid cooling pump declining over time. Its only a year and a half old. I have four corsair fans all at 1200 RPM and I have the radiator in a configuration where it sucks air from the outside into the radiator. so what wrong? Sorry for the long paragraph. Thanks in advance.

make sure there is no dust buildup in the radiator, and replace thermalpaste on the cpu

Yeah I just got all the dust out of the radiator, the temps didn't change to much

if you have some thermal paste laying around i would recommend re applying a fresh coat

I never applied thermal paste when I built the system, therefore it does not need replaced, do you know what the cause of the high temps could possibly be?

if you didnt apply thermal paste it will be stock crap on the cooler, its low quality stuff so it wouldn't surprise me if its the culprit

That makes sense but the 80 degree temps just started a couple days ago, could the thermal paste needing to be reapplied really cause that much of a sudden change?

maybe not that sudden but it is most likely a cause of higher temps, the only other thing i can think of is warmer ambient temps or fans not working properly

The ambient temps are the same but I recently lowered the fans from full speed to a couple hundred RPM lower, could that be enough to increase the temps that much, also is there any diagnostics I could install to check the flow rate
