Safe GPU Temp Under Load?

[WaggishOhio383]

For my first PC build, I chose to get a Radeon RX 590 as the graphics card. I'm wondering what a safe temperature for this card to be running at is. At idle it sits around 37-38°C, which I know is fine. However, when I play more intense games, it gets pretty hot. When playing Forza Horizon 4, it gets up to around 75-77°C, which I feel okay about. However, when I play Apex Legends or Titanfall 2, it heats up to around 82-83°C. I'm not sure how safe this is for my card long-term. I've heard conflicting things about whether it is okay for a card to run at this temp. The card can handle games fine when it gets this hot. I don't experience any freezing or lag of any sort. I'm just not sure if it is okay for it to heat up this much. Is this an okay temperature, or should I try to cool the card down more? I already have all the fan slots filled in my case, so I can't really increase airflow any more. The only thing I know of that I might could do is increase the fan curve, but I'm not sure how to to that. I would appreciate any advice on whether this temp is okay, and what I should do if it's not.

Undervolting Polaris cards, esp RX590 is not even recommended, but almost compulsory by some folks. I am not that radical, I just recommend it all the way. Youtube is full with tutorials how to do it

82°C is completely fine, anything under 90°C is good for 24/7 use. Even going to 95°C is okay if it happens occasionally. 

You dont need to tinker with your card if you dont want to, its running fine.

If you set fan curves properly and if that is a Sapphire Nitro card you won't even see 70c. I don't like to see anything over 75c in my system.

Good to know. I guess I'll stop worrying about it then.

It's not a Sapphire Nitro. It's an XFX Fatboy OC+. I don't like seeing the temp get that high either, but as long as the card can handle it fine, I'll deal with it.
