Guys, I've oc'd my Sapphire R9270x Dualx 4gb GPU to 1100 /1500 MHZ. No increase in voltage.

While playing Crysis3 in ultra setting the temp oscillates between 75-80C.

1) Is this a normal temp for a OC'd Sapphire GPU?

2) Suppose if the temp hits more than 85C, what wud happen will the PC shut down or would my card burn out.

I feel a little bit skeptical with this part while oc'ing and playing.
Need more help on this, please.
 
I believe the max temperature for that card it about 95. A higher temperature will throttle down the performance or restart/turn of the computer, not destroy it. If the card doesn't throttle down, you are fine.
My laptop UX32VD has a max of 92, so yours seems perfectly fine, IMO. (RED: When gaming my laptop always hit the 92C and its not really an issue at all.)
 
Dont worry ive the same gpu but 2 gb version my also hit 75-80 and mine aslo overclocked to 1100 but memory at stock is not an issue though my tempwrature does not go high with this game it stuck at 70 max!
