Is my GPU Temp Healthy?

I have a GTX 1080ti from PNY, the OC triple fan card, and saw its GPU temp hit the mid-upper 80's on average in Divison or Metro games. I applied some Thermal Grizzly and its been stable in the upper 70's, but never went over 81 or 82. Is this a healthy temp or should i think about getting a new cooler?

Those are high temps but not dangerous.

the XLR8 card? That's quite hot for that cooler. Maybe the thermal paste job isnt that good? Or the fans are spinning too slowly?

as I said in the post, I replaced the paste with Thermal Grizzly but kept the fan curve at the default one. I can adjust the curve but I'm just running it through its paces, barely had the card 2 weeks

Maybe use thermal grizzly's liquid metal compound it should decrease tamps about 20C

also could be a problem with low mounting pressure.

Be super careful putting liquid metal on a gpu. You need such a tiny amount. If you put too much on...then you will risk shorting your card becausecthe electrically conductive liquid metal dripped places it shouldn't.  If you already knew this then great, but just had to share in case. I would hate if that happened to you.

Ehh unless your super confident in your abilities, I'd avoid using liquid metal. Pretty easy to mess up your hardware. 

 

Take the cooler back off, and re-apply paste in an X pattern with dots in between the lines. Then, re-seat the cooler taking extra care to put it back on straight and level and torque all of the screws evenly, or as evenly as you can using a screwdriver. This sounds like a mounting/paste issue to me, unless you are pushing the card past its factory clocks using a program like Afterburner and haven't adjusted the fan curve to accommodate.

But be careful bro if it touches something electrical its done. Watch 1sr some videos how to apply liquid metal. I have seen a method where the guy uses nail polish to insulate some places near the gpu's die.
