Hi, guys.
I bought the Omen by HP, Obelisk desktop with rtx 2080 during the BlackFriday sales from Bestbuy. However, I didn't have too much time gaming after purchasing the desktop.
Until today, I finally have some time to play. When I played World of Warcraft for around 2 hours, I noticed that the GPU temperature went to 83 degree C. Then I played PUBG for another 3 hours with GPU temperature around 86 degree C.
I went to Nvidia website and under the "specs", I saw that the "Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) is 88" (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2080/) which is only 2 degree higher than 86 C.
So, I want to ask if this is normal temperature (for gaming) and if this temperature harmful to GPU? If this is harmful, is there any way to lower GPU temperature?
BTW, I used a 2k 144Hz monitor when gaming, and my gpu temperature stays around 35 degree C if I do nothing.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem.I'm currently playing AC Oddyssey and the temperature is 83-85 C.I have even attached a case fan to the ceiling....I think the fan of the GPU and the missing front fan is the problem.I'll probably change the case the days ..

Have you considered contacting HP Support directly for help? you are entitled under warranty.
I have the 880 Omen desktop and my GTX 1070 averages around 73 with Battlefield, so the GPU running 86 would have me a bit concerned also.
