GPU Running Hot!

[loudem3]

I recently just built my first PC and have noticed that my GPU gets really hot. It idles around 38 C and reaches 80 C after playing Team Fortress 2 for only a few minutes. Watching any YouTube video at 1080p 60fps ramps up the temperature to 50 C. I have adjusted the fan speed in MSI Afterburner so that when it reaches 80 C it runs the GPU fans at 90% and set it so that every degree will match the fan %. I would like to know if these temperatures are natural under these conditions.

 

My Build:

• CPU: Intel i5 4690K
• RAM: Hyper X 8GB
• MOBO: Sabertooth Z87
• GPU: XFX R9 290 4GB Double Dissipation
• Case: Corsair Vengeance C70
• Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W
• CPU Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
• Windows 8.1 64-bit
• No additional fans inside case, just the three it came with, 2 in front for intake and 1 in back for exhaust

Nope. That's a normal temperature.

thats 100% normal. its designed to run at 95*C under full load

I'd suggest putting a couple more intake fans in if you can (I don't know the layout of the C70), but 80 Celsius honestly isn't that bad.

Thank you all for the fast response. Good to here this is normal. I am in the process of buying two more fans to keep my rig cooler.
