So i got a new cpu cooler it was the be quiet pure rock i installed it with thermal paste and it was hitting me 80c at some games paired with an i7 920. I bought new paste and applied it but i still have temp issues.... What could be wrong? Note. I cleaned the old cpu paste before applying the new one

The radiator is the metal thing above the CPU that radiates heat off using a large surface area. I call it a radiator.
