7850 temps peaking at 80c. Am I safe?

[kebbz]

Hey guys I need some clarification whether this is fine for long term gaming.

I overclocked my 7850 to 1050 core 1450 memory.

80C is a little high for such a relatively low-power card, even with an overclock. However, 80C is fine for the card's health, and should still last you a very long time.

If you know how you could always take the heatsink and shroud off the card, Apply some aftermarket thermal paste. Arctic silver 5, MX-4, IC diamond

reduce the GPU voltage

Hey I have the XFX R7850 Ultra OC 1GB Version of this card Core OC to a weak 1050mhz no memory oc, I had high temps with the stock cooler and shroud so I asked XFX and ATI about it and they stated that 80c is fine 90c is cooking and 100c is fry point. That said I put the ARCTIC Accelero TT II VGA Cooler on it and now I peak at 50c on a hot day running BF3 on ultra settings.
