I just built a pc and I turned it on to install windows, when ASUS bios came up it showed the Cpu temperature in the high 80s. Is there a way to cool it down? It reached the 80C temperature within 5 minutes

Solution
Sounds like you either installed the cooler improperly or the thermal paste.

Remove the cooler and give it another go.

Remember to remove any plastic film on the cooler and make sure it is firmly secured to the socket.
