Your message is a little scrambled and hard to read. But about the 80c, that is a bit high. What is the ambient temperature of the room it is running in? To lower these temperatures to a more comfortable level, i suggest buying a Hyper 212+ cpu cooler and some arctic mx-2 or arctic silver 5 thermal paste. Although a rig of that caliber i dont think it is worth the upgrade. 80c is not dangerous or too hot. 85-87 is where a change to the cooling system in DEFINITELY needed. 70c is a comfortable temperature.

that's quite a high ambient temp, I personally do not think it is worth the upgrade for that kind of pc. The only thing i recommend is getting a air conditioner for your computer room, to lower that temperature 5 or so degrees so you have a more comfortable working room, that will also give you the same effects of upgrading the cooler. 80c is a little warm, but not dangerous at all. 85 is when you need to look at lowering it as i said above.

EDIT: I now see it is a gaming temperature, and not a prime 95 (stress test) temp. 0.0"

Download prime 95 and run a blend test. if the temps go above 87c stop the stress test and come back here. (closing the window will not stop the test. You need to go file stop)

May i ask what cases are these rigs in?

Just, don't worry about upgrading your cooler in your pc then. All is fine. The one thing i would do is lower that room temperature, less sweaty underwear while gaming :p
