Hi guys, in July I bought a GTX 1660 Ti for my birthday.
Now I tested it for a couple and this particular model of gpu has a dual fan cooler with only 1 heatpipe. Temps now are around 77-78C (my room temperature is about 28-30C).
My case, the corsair spec alpha has 3 intake fans in the front (1 added by me) at full speed and the gpu still reaches these temps.
I'm fine at the moment with these results but in the long period could it be a problem?

It shouldn't be a problem but that cooler is probably just a block of aluminium, this cooler with actual fins will always be the better choice:

I basically have the exact same video card (Gigabyte GTX 1660 Ti OC 6G) and those temps are actually rather cool for a video cards in general and average among the GTX1660ti. You have nothing to worry about.

You can use MSI Afterburner to create custom fans profile for better cooling performance.
