AMD's "chipsets" are co-designed and manufactured by ASUS subsidiary AsMedia. Since most of the historically chipset functions have been moved onto the CPU itself, with the chipset only providing additional USB, SATA, and PCIe 2.0 connectivity, the chipset's manufacturing process, power consumption, and thermals are pretty much meaningless. As far as using a CPU with a motherboard, in the case of Socket AM4, as long as the BIOS supports the chip, you can use it.
If you're getting 80 degree chipset temperatures either the heatsink was improperly installed, your case airflow is nonexistant, or your power supply is undervolting and causing increased temperatures. A chipset should not get warmer than 55*C under heavy load, even with low end motherboards with bare bones cooling.

i get very high temp with 870A FUZION POWER EDITION,
now with MSI 970 GAMING still bad tempature
---- RIGHT NOW IDLE ----
whats your mobo by the way ?
i have also rx480 strix very long GPU, chipset under the GPU all time.
believe me i have very decent psu,cooling.
Use AIDA64, not HWMon. On mine HWMon isn't even reading the chipset temperature, so it is quite possible you're not even reading your chipset temperature.
Right now I have a Crosshair VI Hero, previously I used a Sabertooth 990FX Gen3 R2.0, a Crosshair IV Formula, a Crosshair III Formula, M3A78-T, and before that I'd have to look up my order history.
