85°C on a GPU

[gabrieltkd95]

I have a XFX R9 390X. While im gaming it is always under 65°C, but today i decided to test the cooling performance of my case and the GPU. I was using Furmark and it went up to 85°C for a second, but then i inmediatly stopped the stress test and temps went back to normal. Btw, It seems to run perfectly normal.
Could any damage been done to the GPU in that short period?

85C on a GPU under a stress test is pretty normal. only worry if it goes spiking above 100C for a long time.

Furmark has been known to break GPUs before due to it generating too much heat.

-Setting that aside, 85C is not too hot for a gpu.

Yes, i know. I've been reading something like that. But the PC seems to run just fine. Is that ok?

yeah. 85C is good, no harm with that. it would need to be 90-95C before I'd worry.

for reference:
95-100 is throttling territory, you do not want to operate there in a planned fashion even for short periods, and certainly not for a long time. Accidentally being in there for a while won't hurt it, but setting yourself up to run like that is a bad idea.
