Currently running a GTX 1080 in a Corsair 750D. I have ample room and great airflow, but when playing Overwatch on Ultra settings, my card seems to peak ~82 celcius. I've never really looked at temps for graphics card, but I just want to make sure that this is normal and I don't have a faulty card/will start on fire or something. Can anyone confirm or relate to this issue?

Thanks Rob, I also downloaded MSI Afterburner to play around with a fan curve, haven't been getting above 70 now thankfully.

Thats good, if you run higher fan speed you will get more performance too as GPU boost will increase the clock speed.
