So i had my inspiron 5520 for year n 1/2 now and it was working just fine. But recently i noticed that my cpu tempterature goes 70c+ on under 20% of cpu usage and area where the cooler is literary burning and its louder than my speakers. Any suggestions?

Solution
I would open the laptop and inspect for dust.
Or an easier way is that you can buy a can of compressed air from like staples, walmart, microcenter, etc. which has a chance of getting some dust out,
Here is a video guide on using the compressed air ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipC4HHXe1kk ).
Note that you may damage your computer using any of the methods so proceed with caution.
