It doesn't matter what program I'm running wither it be as simple as Google Chrome or Spotify to highly demanding games my CPU manages to reach over 80 degrees Celsius. I honestly have no idea what's wrong with my CPU - it makes running any game extremely choppy.

Solution
At idle, I would expect any cooler to be 10-15c. over ambient.

If you are using the stock cooler, check to see if all 4 pushpins are through the motherboard and locked.
If you nudge the cooler, there should be no wiggle.
