Overheating CPU SENSOR

I have an Alienware Area 51 and have never experienced any form of lag on it while gaming. Recently, my CPU Sensor has been heating up to 82 degrees Celcius which also causes insane amount of lag during play. What should I do to stop the lag?

    What exact model/release and what version of Windows?

    Like @speedstep says, have you cleaned it lately (especially fans and radiator)?
