Would lowering my fps in games help with CPU temps

Solution
What is your temperature at idle?
If you are using the stock cooler and it is mounted well, I would expect to see 10-15c. over ambient.

What is your case and what do you have for front intake fans?
Any cooler needs to have a good supply of fresh air to do it's job.

77-80c. under load is really not bothersome.

70-80C would be quite typical for the somewhat smallish Intel-provided cooler under a gaming load....

As long as no throttling/near throttle conditions, I'd just live with it...(a better cooler could knock 10-13C off of the temps, but,....just a number)
