[SOLVED] Is 80c a normal temperature for my Rx580 blower style

[kaib]

I have a Rx580 blower design
I play rocket league card stays at 75-80c at 40% fan speed
wondering if this is normal or if I should change the thermal paste?

Normal.

Normal, blower style GPUs do get hotter than open air style GPUs due to the fact that they often lack heatpipes and the blower fan has to work harder. That GPU is still within its safe temp limits.

Silly me to leave this out:
On the plus side, they are ideal for multi-gpu setups and in some small form factor chassis where the axial fan models would otherwise choke.
