You could limit the speed of your GPU, if you really want.
The GPU basically has a temperature target, that is safe to hit. It will give you as much performance as it can give you within that target. Increasing the fan speed, will give you more performance, but it will also make your card louder, so you have to know what you want.
You can reduce the thermal limit if you feel that 83°C is too hot for you (with MSI Afterburner for example).
You could also set voltages and clockspeeds on your own, but tinkering with that can lead to instability.
Your card could also benifit from undervolting it (basically running it at the lowest voltage possible, which can save some power and lower temperatures), if you are into that, but you have to look up a guide on that on your own
The default thermal throttle temperature is in the low 80's so you're not far off. GPUs for a long time (both nvidia and AMD) are designed to boost as far as possible until one of many limits are hit. On nvidia, the different limits may be clock, power, voltage, temperature.
If you want to run it cooler, you can reduce either the thermal limit or power limit.
