GTX 1060 hitting over 82 degrees while playing games

Hello, I just bought a new prebuilt ASUS G11 desktop (Yes, I know it's cheaper building it) around 2 months ago. It has a GTX 1060 6B and a 3.00GHZ Intel Core i5-7400. It can run every game I've played maxed out and with frames to spare. I took a liking to Overwatch before I got this PC. So now I could play on Ultra graphics. I also that my GPU heated up and cooled down quite fast. I could make it heat up slower with Aegis III which can make my fans spin faster. The game would always even if I boosted my fan speed cap at 82 °C. Recently though I just noticed that it would occasionally jump to 83 degrees for less than a second. Some games after I noticed that it was at 85 degrees. I was a bit worried since I had read and heard that it's the point where Nvidia GPU's start throttling. So I am wondering what happened to my GPU since I am now hitting temperatures over 82.

I am assuming you live in the northern hemisphere which means that you have high temperatures due to summer. The rise of.ambient temperature will affect your PC's temps as well. You can make a custom fan curve in MSI afterburner or put another case fan that will blow air to your GPU directly.

Thanks, my PC should be able to get 2 more fans so I'll definitely buy something like that.
