Remove your cooler clean with alcohol and reapply paste.
Also make sure you tighten the screws/ tension properly so it seats well.
80C is too high after 10 mins.

i took out the cpu cooler and reapplied the thermal paste and now i get 69-70 degrees underload with prime95 and about 30-35 idle....
i also cant seem to find the cpu voltage in bios as well...what does lowering cpu voltage do?

i fixed it...after watching a video on different methods of apply thermal paste i put the blob in the middle method and now its fine...prime95 at around 50-55 degrees...i did the spread method before and i bet that created a lot of bubbles
