At the moment he is 45-55 Celsius in idle. With a game session for about one hour he shuts him self off.. I have mounted a h80i watercooler he isn't Overclocked:??:

That CPU runs hot by itself, but in Idle it seems kinda hot, indeed, specially for such cooler. Try to re-mount it just to make sure. Also check the thermal paste, even tho it's supposed to cool, if excessively applied, it will do the opposite to what it is supposed to.
