I Have the acx 2.0 evga 980ti and an i5 4690 cpu. I noticed in bf1 my gpu runs fans at about 50-55% and stays around 78-79 degrees. Everyone tells me theirs runs much cooler. my case is clean and great airflow. My cpu tops out at about 59 degrees. I also noticed my cpu hits 100% load a lot but BF1 is suppose to have issues with i5's atm. just wanting feedback on if fans are ok to run for many hours at 50-60% and if the temps are safe. I know they are below limit.
 
Solution
yes thats fine, if the noise bothers you from the fans, dont be afraid to lower the fan curve just slightly

As already stated, it would be a good idea to change your fan curves, usually your GPU will come with a program on a disc that allows you to monitor temps and edit the fan curve, I just got a 1060 yesterday and I edited the fan curve on it so that the fan speed percentage is the same as the temperature, never goes above 50 degrees :D

No matter which brand of GPU you have you can use MSI Afterburner. I love it cuz it has on screen display (see temps and such) and I can make a custom fan curve. With that said, I set my fan curve to 0% up to 50C then fan kicks it. By 60C the fan is at 50%, at 70C the fan is 80%, then it climbs.

I run BF1 at load around 72C with 82% fan speed. The GPU keeps flopping up and down in GPU Usage. There is some weird issue with the game now. My i5 performs like yours and I think you are having the game stuttering too. My CPU is constantly at 100% usage and I've never seen this before in a game. BF3 my CPU was always around 85% usage.

Set a custom curve in the MSI Afterburner. And lets wait for game fixes with stuttering.
