Is this a normal GPU Temp at 81 celc?

This may help....

That's the same cleaner that i use, and it's cheap.
I paid 8,00€ when I bought it a few months ago to remove the old thermal paste From my gpu and apply the Arctic MX -4

ok, thanks. now i learned few things from u guys

Yea, as stated by most posters its just a good idea to do that once in awhile. Normally paste just gets bad over time and starts to raise temps slightly as its especially common on cards with open fan shroud style coolers (Though you have a blower so its not as bad on that). Paste dries out over time so you just have to paste if you want to keep it for a very long time to keep temps down.

Blowers generally even with increasing fan speed scale differently depending on the card itself and if the paste goes bad it just makes that harder.

It lasts forever ....i purchased one 2 years ago,

I really hate blower / Reference cooler Cards... i rater buying gigabyte or MSI cards because of its cooler....

Well to me I like blowers for the fact that all air is pushed out of the case as it can help with temps especially in multi-card setups. Custom coolers like the Windforce from Gigabyte are great and better for noise in a single card setup but even going SLI/CFX with 2 cards can cause the top cards even if you setup a good airflow for them it still can still run hotter which can cause higher fan speeds.

But at the end of the day aftermarket coolers are better for more situations than naught.

Both types have their uses. I actually prefer them (although I have both types of GPU coolers running on different PC's), because they don't send any hot air from the GPU into the case. And not all are loud. I hardly hear the one on my 780 for instance.

Correct, thats the unique advantage or notable one of using a reference / blower Card....
In my specific case i'm not fan of SLI/CFX setups... i prefer using a single card setup, also i use single 1080P 1980x1080 Monitor,
so a SLI setup still is miles away from my rig....

Having both a TwinFrozr and reference design 6870, I can say a couple of things, so I'll share my experiences.

The Good:

• The TwinFrozr is more quiet than the reference card.
• The TwinFrozr cools better at stock speeds.

The Bad:

• The TwinFrozr moves far less air than the reference cooler.
• The TwinFrozr recycles the warm air in the case.
• The TwinFrozr doesn't handle higher heat outputs from overclocking as well as the reference cooler.
• The TwinFrozr TIM always seems to dry out twice as fast as the reference card.
• The TwinFrozr has more delicate fans than the reference card does (I just replaced my TwinFrozr's fans and the reference card is twice as old.)
  
• Strange enough, the TwinFrozr seems to flake out at ~80*C where the reference card will still be stable at 85*C.

for a moment i did see the temp went to as high as 86 cel, kinda worry a bit, but will be doing all the suggestion above in the next few day, kinda busy today... going for Christmas Shopping...
