I have a decent build. While gaming my cpu's temperature gradually increases from 50c to 80c until a thermal shutdown occurs. However I dont come across this problem when cpu is idle or with less load like browsing.I have cleaned and repasted the thermal compound , i did clean all the fans but still the problem exists.

My specs:-

Processor - Amd fx 6100 with stock cooler
Gpu - asus strix gtx 960 2gb ddr5
Motherboard - Asus m5a97 le r2.0
Psu - Corsair vs550
Ram - Transcend 8gb
Hdd - 1.5tb
Cabinet - cooler master elite 310


P.S:- I recently updated my motherboard.
 
Solution
You can't help it much , a decent downward blowing cooler would help cool it some, but it's mainly just a poorly designed board , known to be unstable. With no heatsinks on the VRM and a poor power phase setup , it won't get much better.
