I've been tweaking the R9 380 4GB Sapphire version for hours, finally managing a 10% boost in both GPU core and memory speeds. Once I pushed it further, temperatures hit 77-79°C, sometimes even reaching 80°C. After overclocking with the BIOS auto-fan settings, my temps stay between 89-90°C in most intense games. At 80°C, the fans spin at 80-85%, which is quite loud. I'm wondering if these temperatures are safe and whether it's best to keep the card running as long as possible, especially since we're planning a GPU upgrade in about three years.

Just to check, you meant to say something about being okay?
