80°c GTX 950

[Lil Penguin]

My GTX 950 is running at 80°C when under 99% load playing Overwatch. Is 80°C for a 950 okay?

Seems to be hot. How long you have that GPU? Do you re-apply thermal paste and cleaned it?

80C is alright, they can go to 95C.

I've had it for about a year now. No, I have not taken the cooler off or cleaned it.

You could also try to take a can of compressed air and blow out the aluminum fins of the heatsink, could be that they are clogged with dust and just need to be cleaned out to work efficiently again.

Try cleaning it, and change the thermal paste, maybe the temperatures will down.
