Alright so I have been doing lots of tweeks for hours and hours overclocking my R9 380 4GB the Sapphire version, finally I was able to overclock the card by 10% (for both the GPU core and memory), before overclocking the card's temperature was getting maximum to 77-79 degrees celsius , sometimes even 80c. After OC now with the automatic fan speeds coming with the BIOS my temps are capped at 89-90 degrees most of the cases in most intensive graphic games, with some tweaks in the fan I was able to reach 77-80 max temp after overclocking, problem is when the card is at 80 degrees my fans are running at 80-85% which is too loud. My question, are these temps are quite safe? and should they keep the card alive as much as possible? we are talking about 3 years at least from now to get a GPU upgrade.
