Best solution

Your temps are fine! Ivy runs hot. If your temps hit 80+C in games then you should be worried.

What cooler are you using? Are these temps in game or high usage or at idle?

It Is At 70-80% Usage And Not Overclocked And Stock Cooler

75-80C is normal for IB at heavy load with stock cooler. Most half-decent aftermarket coolers like the 212+ will drop full-load temperatures by at least 15C when properly installed.

The stock HSF is intended for little more than meeting Intel's warranty requirements so it tends to let chips run much hotter than enthusiasts usually like to.
