nay, 80c is fine, adjust ur fancurve for comfortable temp to ur pc

What game/software makes you hit 80C at load?

U can feel the heat? im using Asus GTX 780.. and i dont feel the heat, mine also hits 80'C

You're running at non air-con room? How is your cable arrangement inside your casing?

I am running the same card as yours, Asus 760 DCUII and max temp is only 69C at BF4. Non air-conditioned room. Fans are running at stock (auto). I suppose 80C is very unusual and already on the high side. The highest I ever observed was around 72C running 3D Mark.

And no, DCUII cooler does not expense the hot air directly to back of your casing. The hot air is simply expensed and then circulated back into your case, as most axial fan coolers do. That's why it's important to have a very good casing airflow. But GK104 is not known to have a very high thermal output, meaning it will not heat up your casing/surroundings.

i also open and touch before... not really hot la.... i got once using this 780 temp reach 91'C that is hot... Hahaha

80'C is just warm for me

im using a smaller casing than urs CM 690II 1x 120mm front + 1x 120mm back (exhaust) + 2x 120mm top (exhaust) dont seem hot to me LOL

All fan using Bitfenix LED 120mm 

Usually, on stock settings, the GTX 780 will run at max 80 - 81C due to the GPU Boost 2.0 requirement (default temperature target).

hi everyone..was currently thinking of upgrading from gtx560 ti to gtx 760..but wen i see the review of all brands..now dun noe which to decide..

currently a few brand attract me..zotac gtx760 amp edition..MSI gtx760 twin frozr gaming and asus gtx 760 direct CU2 OC..

most review say that their performance is the same but asus win in cooler and more quiet..price also win by rm200..is it worth it to get Asus just for that?? or Asus got other feature that make it more expensive than other brand??
