    Graphics cards typically run hotter than CPUs, but 80c is still too high. Make sure you have adequate airflow in your case, try to tidy large or unnecessary cables.

    no ventilation and overclocking, you must be crazy man you gonna burn up all the building :D

    go buy a feel hurricane 2 case consisting the 550watt psu simply enough to satisfy you as in price case or performance

    by the way, graphics card can tolerate up to 120 C degrees so keep it cool for high performance, right
