That situation likely hasn't changed as far as I know. But I think that 
article was overreacting. 80 degrees C on an NVIDIA GPU really should 
not be dangerous. There are GPUs that can normally hit over 100 degrees 
even with active cooling. Passively cooled GPUs like that will normally 
run pretty warm.
