i just bought a new gtx 980 ti because it was about $250 and it works great but it runs REALLY hot like i got it to 75(insert degree symbol here) C while playing dirt 3. i can get a full refund for the next month so i got that covered

A 980Ti for $250 is a steal. Which OEM are we talking about? Mind you 75 is not really that high for that card.

If we're talking about the MSI gaming, that's nothing to worry about.

that needs a GTX 480 lol, just because

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Oh it's a blower. Especially nothing to worry about if we're talking about full load in games.

You're good. According to Guru3D, their stock card went up to 84C with no issues.

If it's not running that hot for you, nothing to worry about.

What you can do (and what I would do) is run a benchmark (like 3DMark or Unigine) and leave it for some time, like an hour, and see what you'll end up with. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.
