I want to buy an MSI R9 380 4GB card, but lots of people have mentioned its excessive heat. Should I worry?

I've heard that this card has hit the mid 80c mark which I'm worried will cause problems. Last thing I want is anything to burn out. I have an NZXT s340 case for it to go into which I believe has good airflow, but I'm still concerned about load temps. Can anyone tell me their views on it

In the summer, yes. In the winter, it'd replace your space heater, which is amazing. If you have good airflow, I wouldn't worry about it. If your gpu reaches higher than 70C, which I'd doubt, is when I'd get worried.

Tbh I wouldn't worry too much about the heat unless you live in a desert. The other option is to just use the fans that come installed on the card and cool it. Don't be afraid to give it a sharp fan curve.

I have the ASUS STRIX model and it doesn't go above 70 degrees, even in the summer when the ambient temperature is like 30.
