CPU High temperature problem!

Hello there!
I've had a really worrying problem for about a week now and it started with my computer getting really loud when playing a game so i exit the game and checked my CPU Temperatures and they were at 50c idle! (has always been at 25-30c on idle even with my CPU overclocked to 4.2GHz).
I have no idea what causes this and i was hoping for you guys here to help me.
Also another thing my cpu temperatures varies everytime i boot my computer, sometimes it's 35c which is kinda normal and sometimes it's 50+ degrees, another thing that i should mention is as soon i do anything, open a google chrome tab or loading up a web page, loading up a software etc my CPU temperatures rises about 5 - 10c+ and then goes back to the previous temperature once i stop what i am doing.
Now for those of you that wonders here's my CPU and cooler:
i7 3770k @Stock GHz (3.5 / Turbo 3.9, had it overclocked for a while like i said above to 4.2GHz).
And a Corsair H80i Liquid Cooler. My computer is a little over a year old by the way. Oh, i tried playing a CPU heavy game like Battlefield 4 and once again the temperatures varies sometimes it's 70c and sometimes it's even 90c!
I would appreciate a fix / answer for this scary problem i have right here. Thanks in advance! :)

That's really weird, try looking at the tubing on the H80i and make sure no fluid is leaking (it shouldn't or else the computer would stop working from water going on the mobo).

Is there any dust in the radiator?

I haven't checked that actually but unfortunately if it is i can't get it out there because i don't have one of those compressed air thingymabobs. Oh and the radiator is the thing between the corsair h80i fans right? And no there's no leaking on the tubes.

yeah it's in between the fans.

You can pick up compressed air for cheap on amazon or newegg.
