Normal.

Lesser known brands cooler are the least efficient. Your expected temps during normal loading can varies from 76 to 80deg.

Zotac only the omega cooler more atas.

If you're worried about temps, you may want to download the EVGA tool on Steam (cant rmb the name), which allows you to play with fan curve. I run the Aggressive profile on my 980ti (noisier), but it starts the fan at 40% even at 0% load, which drops temps to 35 degrees at 0 load. Peak load around 72-75 degrees (it was going close to 80? with the normal default fan curve. I dont care about noise so i much prefer a more cooling fan curve

I used msi afterburner. The custom default fan profile. The fan too noisy for me. But only managed to keep at 75 degrees with 80% fan. I intend to buy 2 more 120mm case fan later.

I saw your fury x benchmark 50-60degrees. Good product. But of course your pricing also power. 999

You can start by having more better fans to cool the card down.

If your chassis permits a 120mm/140mm at the bottom or at the side, it is good to have one.

It will bring in fresh air to your GPU. However do note that it will help in cooling the card down by 2~3 deg. Don't expect to be excellent. So yea...

Different league Bro. One is liquid cooled vs air cooled. Can't direct compare.

But amd concept on this is good. Good temp and quiet. Performance actually I saw people can overclock a bit performance also better. So actually can fight with 980ti on some front

It should help a bit. I'm getting 75deg with 50% fan on my palit, running 3 140mm case fans.
