GTX 980 80c safe?

[SPYderman]

I recently put in my evga gtx 980 and after gaming for a while it peaks at 80c and never goes any higher. Is this safe? Also running this card at stock and its a reference cooler

yeah its the cut off for temperature, it should be fine

[Whypatch]

It's fine. Get worried at around 90+

While not dangerous in any way that is pretty damn toasty for a 980. You must have some seriously bad airflow.

Did you even bother to do at a minimum a modicum of research prior to dropping serious coin on such a GPU ?

Do you guy's do any research before posting on these forums ?

So bottom line is its safe right?

[Mentoast]

As long as it isn't throttling it should be 'fine'. It is pretty toasty and lower is better since it will increase the card's longevity but it probably isn't an issue since it's still well within the manufacture's specs (Maximum GPU Tempurature (in C) 98 C). The decrease in longevity probably won't be an issue since the card will be sufficiently outdated.

Yes you *word*. Mine run in the lower 70s at 1500 mhz.

your point ? if you even have one LOL 80c for reference ?

1. I have multiple ones.

2. Use correct sentences. I am currently just guessing what you are trying to tell me.

3. My reference GTX 980s run at rougly 73 ish degrees at 1500 mhz.

It's pretty safe but I would check the airflow, Maxwell isn't that hot. Do you have a reference card? If you can lower the temps maybe you get a little more OC headroom.
