80 degrees Celsius is fine for the 260X. That's about the limit though. It will probably start throttling frequencies at a little bit higher. Might try cleaning your case fans, etc. I wouldn't worry unless it starts creeping consistently into the low to mid 80's.

As always, there are accessories available aftermarket if you want to get serious about cooling things down.
