80 degrees C

My graphics card is running under load at about 80 degrees C. Is this safe or should I look at getting an aftermarket cooler? Thanks.

So how come GPUs can take insane amounts of heat but CPUs can't?

I've already ordered a new cooler. It's the blue glowy one.

Yes, that's right. I care more about aesthetics than quality. Although to be fair, I've heard it's pretty decent anyway.

Edit: I assume it's okay to use normal thermal paste like I use on a CPU cooler?
