What is the max temperature you're seeing, and under what circumstances?

the max I see is 82c playing battlefield 4 on all ultra. I see people with the same build on youtube they only at like 65c

Are you sure they have the same model of R9 380? They probably have a different case, meaning different (possibly more) airflow. If the card is old, it may benefit from cleaning and/or repasting.

82C is pretty warm, but not really overheating. If you're concerned, just increase the fan speed using Wattman or Afterburner.

First I recommend taking your video card out, and hit it carefully with compressed air to clean the metal fins on the heat-sink. Then if temps don't stay below 78C you will have to re do thermal compound on your gpu dye. You need to be more experienced in applying thermal compound on a GPU than CPU. Biggest reason is the die is exposed on a GPU compared to a cpu dye, which is covered by a heat spreader. So in terms meaning if done wrong can increase temps and/or short the chip due to conductive thermal paste (Check Brand).
