GTX 980 safe gaming temperature?

[ajkuras]

I'm running a Nvidia GTX 980 for my computer. When I play graphically intense games, the card temp peaks out at about 80-83 degrees Celsius. Is my card OK running at this temperature? Thanks in advance.

those temps are safe personally i dont let my 970's go past 75 but nividia says it is safe up to 98C but for complete safety under 85 is ideal

Wonderful. Thanks so much!

anytime.
however what model 980 do you have?

To be honest, I don't know. The computer is pre built and I can't find the brand of the card anywhere.

open it and take a photo most of the time you can tell whet brand it is.
get a photo of the bottom the top with the fans and side.

I'm a bit weary of opening up the case because I don't want to risk the warranty. I want to say it's an Asus card as that is who made the computer. I have an email to them to try to find out for sure. I'll post here as soon as I find out for sure.

as long as you dont touch anything in the case you will be fine pc parts now days have protection so dust wont kill them if you open it. just make sure there are not any pets in the room you open it in that will be a problem if you get hair in your fans
