184f heat from GPU

[CuriousBro]

I recently purchased a PNY GTX 1080 Ti. Everything was good until I started playing games set to 2560x1440 (144hz). Then Speccy starts saying my GPU is getting up to 174f on Hellblade and 184f on Sekiro. I took the GPU apart, cleaned the dust, cleaned the thermal paste and applied some Noctua thermal paste. There was literally no change. With a little anxiety I impulsively ordered an ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme III custom GPU cooler. But before installing this thing, I wanted to know your thoughts on my issue.

What did you have previously?

 

Also what case and how many fans?

Boy oh boy why should that be? maybe because its perfectly normal to have under 80C (or 184F) when underload?

I did three upgrades:

GTX 1070 to a GTX 1080 Ti

Ryzen 5 1600 to a Ryzen 7 3700x

1080 (60hz) monitor to 1440p (144hz) monitor.

again its perfectly normal to have such temps on any GPU especially yours which is blowerstyle like the founders edition which gets a couple of degrees hotter than yours (but its still ok)
