GPU Heating up to 81C when it only hit 60 at most before

[TrainerJuan]

I use my pc for games and streams. Been playing Overwatch and mobas, but my gpu's temperature never even reached 70 C up until recently. As of late, it has reached 80/81 and my cam software has been warning me that I should not prolong the use of it or it will damage it.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5 Quad-Core Processor

Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid Cooler

Motherboard: Asus- Z710-E ATX LGA1151

Memory: Crucial- Ballistix Port LT 16GB (2 x 8B) DDR4-2400

Storage: OCZ- TRION 150 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Seagate- Barracuda 1.5TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Don't know too much about pcs, so any feedback/help is appreciated.

I'd check your fan speeds. 80 seems a bit hot for that caliber of card, Also makes sure the fans are spinning when you put a load on the card. 81C isn't going to hurt the card, but That card with that cooler that is a bit warm.

1 of my 780ti's gets up to 89C under full load, but they are overclocked and SLI makes the top card run hot.

Checked it, they are spinning. Put the fans at 80 to 100% fan speed, and it didn't change anything. Not overclocked or anything either.
