[SOLVED] Advice on GPU cooling and whether or not it is needed

So I am 100% a novice when it comes to pcs etc, I bought a pre-built from cyberpower a while ago some basic specs are the following:
Cooler Master MB530P RGB Mid-Tower Gaming Case
Intel(R) Core™ i7-9700K 4.90GHz
MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon
MSI GeForce(R) RTX 2080 8GB
Corsair RM1000x 1000W

I mainly play open world survival games, Rust/ARK/The Forest/Grounded and my GPU constantly runs at 80-83 degrees regardless of if I drop the setting etc, is this ok? I have read you shouldn't play for long periods of time at 80 as over time it can damage some parts.

Not sure whether I need to upgrade some parts or whether it is fine as is?

Thanks.

Download MSI Afterburner and set a custom fan curve. You can use just 2 points 50C = 30% and 70C=100%. Then check the box to make it active on startup. It will probably be louder but should bring the temperature down a bit.

I am running three NVidia GPUs and they all run around 80-83C at 100% usage.
I don't think you have an issue if it doesn't go over 83C.
Although I would think...if you dropped the settings....that the GPU would go below 100% usage....but maybe not if you are running 4K or something like that,
