Celsius I believe right? Otherwise, no need to worry.
How are you cooling it?
2 easy steps to check through:
1. Make sure your cooler is plugged in properly/running correctly. If it's watercooled, is your pump still running? Does it feel really hot at the base of the tubing? If it's air cooled, are the fans covered in dust/ not running as fast as usual? Did the cooling block come off the processor somehow?
2. When was the last time you applied thermal paste? Seeing as your processor came out in October of 2012, and guessing that you didn't buy it immediately, this could be an issue if you haven't reapplied thermal paste in over three years you may need to replace it, especially if you've removed/replaced the heat sink a few times, or even if you only removed it once or twice.
3. Have you recently changed anything in your computer? This is software or hardware. If you installed anything recently, see how much load you are under at idle, something might be pushing it more than usual. It's also possible to have accidentally installed malicious software (obviously accidentally, unless you do that stuff for fun, but w/e your life) that is just screwing with your computer. Unlikely but still a real possibility. And if you changed hardware, check connections for any fans/coolers you might have bumped into, or see above two points.
That's all the general help I can say w/o knowing more specifics, and with my limited crude knowledge.

Is your cooler making contact with your CPU?
Pull up your CPU temp program
Go inside your PC, press and hold down on the block for your CPU cooler.
Does your temps go down?

I installed my cooler wrong and it wasn't making contact and determined it wasn't making contact by just pushing the block ONTO the CPU and seeing if the CPU temp drops (which it did, very quickly)

Well how much did you add? You need to add a good amount and use a card of some sort and get it all on your CPU. All though putting paste on your COU and putting your cooler back on will spread it out, spreading it yourself is a more sufficient result. Either way if 60 Celsius is your max temp. It's way better than 80+. You say your case has good airflow but honestly none of us is there to actually determine if it has good airflow or not. Best option is to buy a new cooler and see if it does it.
Running out of options here really.
If there's nothing in your PC that's taking that heat of air out, then that could be your problem.
I've never really heard of temp problems like these if you applied paste and all that stuff yet still having problems. Trying to help you the best I can.

Is cooler not spinning? What's it do? Also no problem. Should rep @Trenchguns also as he's a big helper around here too. Hope your PC runs more healthy!
