[SOLVED] Acceptable GPU temps for ZOTAC En980 Nvidia GTX 980M running 24-7

[eco_bach]

Hi
Running a machine learning application on a Zotac EN980 for a kiosk.
https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/magnus-en980-2
NvidiaGTX980M
Intel Quad Core i5_6400 2.71 GHz
8.00 GB Installed memory
WIndows 10

I am seeing 87C GPU temps which seem quite high for a PC running 24-7 regardless of type of cooling.
CPU core temps are all in the 60-70C range.
Anyone care to comment?
Worse case can I expect just shortened GPU life or?
Any feedback welcome! I've read elsewhere that Zotac support isn't the best which is why I am asking here.

For an idle card..? Yeah, that's pretty high. MSI Afterburner's automatic max temp is 83 C. I'd consider refreshing the cooling paste on your card to see if that would improve anything.
