Is it at stock? You can lower the temperatures by disabling Turbo frequencies is the bios or at least lowering them, but single threaded performance will take a hit. Even an expensive cooler like the Hyper 212 EVO will make a big difference in temperatures though.

Short answer = No.

The stock cooler is barely adequate and hitting 60-65c is normal. Throttling it back or disabling cores is a waste of an 8 core CPU.

The good news is you don't need to spend a lot to get good cooling. A Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or Xigmatek Gaia will perform well and only cost arounnd $30. Just wait until one of them goes on sale.
