Before my cpu would hit 100 degrees then i replaced the thermal paste and it works fine but, 80 degrees is the max that it would hit not any higher please anyone respond if this is good or not.

your water cooler is broken or not hooked up right. that is extremely high, scary temps for your cpu. <xxxx> 100 is insanely high and to the point of wearing it down too fast. 80 is kind of borderline, but water system should be like 60 or below when gaming hard. for long term stability you will want to strive for 70 and below.
