I recently bought a new computer:

GPU: EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 770 W/ACX cooling

CPU: i7 3770

Ram: 16GB

I was playing Crysis 3 for about 45 minutes, I realized my GPU was at 83c. This was the hottest it ever got but my fan speed was at 98%. Is it bad that my GPU is this hot? When I'm not playing video games, it stays around 34c-45c. I am in a hot room, and my case doesnt have that good of airflow, but still is it bad to have my GPU that hot?

Thanks!

I have never seen 83 in actual use.... I typically OC to about 83-84 using OCCT (on the top card when SLI) but again that's a stress testing utility and ya usually won't see anything that high. That's a factory overclocked card however the SC series uses a stock VRM while Giga, Asus , MSI and EVGAs other lines use a beefed up VRM on custom PCB. Two options:

1. Don't worry about it....card is "guaranteed" at the factory OC so if it fails it's EVGAs problem.
2. Downclock it a bit in hot weather.
