My reference 970 is operating between 80-81 degrees Celsius under full load. Is there any available overclocking margin? I considered raising the temperature ceiling to 84 degrees Celsius to gain some flexibility. The graphics card claims it can manage up to about 85 degrees Celsius.

The card's maximum temperature is 98c. It's recommended to maintain it under 90 for safety, with a mid-80s being the best range.
