high gpu temps

[Proch]

so this is the 2nd im talking about this issue when im gaming my gpu reaches 82c and the fans speed are at 80-85% idk whats goin on ive adjusted the fan curve but still temps wont go lower than 80c 
and my case air flow is fine 
rig:
ryzen 1600
msi a320 grenade
8gb hyper x 
msi armor gtx 1060 3gb
evga 550w powersupply

Have you done any overclocking or overvolting?

I wonder if the GPU is overclocking itself. Can you monitor clock speeds while playing games at varying fan speeds and tell me what they are? I also think the temperature limit is 83 degrees C with Pascal by default, and if you haven't changed that, the card might be trying to hit that temperature limit by increasing clock speeds automatically because it can.

Pascal card at least have GPU Boost coded into their firmware, and it raises clock speeds when there is good headroom to maximum allowed temperatures and down clocks when temperatures are rising too much. I have 1060 6gb and it clock up until it hits the 60-65 C and then tries to find even medium where temperatures are good compared to clock speeds all tho I have temperature limit of 90 celcius set from msi afterburner and power limit to max. I dont think what you are saying is entirely true but there might be some truth also. And 82 isnt totally bad temperatus on full load.

ive owned an asus dual gtx 1060 6gb back when it fiest launched max temp ive reached under full load was 77 or smthn like that with fan speed of 65% maximum but on this card fan speeds are reaching 85+

In truth, it never pushes to hit a limit, it OCs to something that could be regarded as ok, good but not perfect, (it ussually misses the cap by at least 200mhz, meaning you can manually push it that much more, on a 1060, numbers are smaller on stronger cards.), and then measures the difference from power/temp limit. As long as this margin gets smaller, it adjusts the clocks downwards, so as not to hit a wall at some point, resulting in major fps drop. So you can think of them as 2 seperate systems, 1 is pre-programmed to kick in as soon as you start your application, and OC the card as much as it can, then a 2nd system kicks in, and tries to actively control clocks  to reduce the chance of you hitting the temp limit to 0, under normal circumstances.
