When I play games like GTA 4, GTA 5, Tomb Raider, or any other CPU intensive task, the CPU temperature rises to 80c. The CPU is not overclocked at all. Is this too hot? Should I buy a new cooler? If so, which one?



I'm currently using the stock fan cooler and my PC case is a Cooler Master Cooler Master CM 690. I have 4 120mm case fans: 1 at the front, 1 at the back, and 2 at the top. They all work at full speed and the case has very good ventilation.
