See if you can collapse the radiator hoses, one or both may have internally collapsed on you.

Why do you think it's running hot if your gauge says 80°? Just because the fans are on could mean that the high speed fan switch on the engine block is shorted. Plus if the water in the reservoir is cold. Check fan switch and report back
