Is 75-80c too hot for gpu underload?

Depends on the GPU make and model. For a recent Nvidia model that's pretty-much perfect.

80C under load is perfectly fine. Modern GPU will automatically throttle itself before it gets too hot.

How do I know when will it throttle?

When everything starts to lag.

Don't worry about it your temps are fine.

K, thanks

For a single card, you could bump your fan curve a bit higher at the upper end to try and keep the temps to low 70's to try and maintain the higher boost clock a bit better, but. It won't have that much of an impact.

Another option would be to clean up the airflow through and out of your case. The cooler your internal temps, the colder the GPU will run.

Stage 1 is simple; move the case further away from any wall behind it. Having a wall right behind the case interferes with cooling. Stage 2 is to check if there are any removable panels on the front of the case - by which I mean flat plastic, not grids or grilles. Remove any and see if that helps.

Stage 3 is more drastic. Cut down on Parasitic Drag by removing the HDD Cage assembly - it should unbolt quite easily, and removing it will help a lot with internal airflow. Good PC cases usually have a second set of cages underneath the floor. All of this will make the inside of your PC look neater and sleeker, which is a plus.

Stage 4 involves replacing the whole case with something more open. ATX-MID towers have more airflow and more locations for fans, and that makes for a huge improvement to cooling.

Stage 5 is pure crazy. I suppose you could replace all the case fans with Noctua PPC Industrial models, and graft an EK Aluminium Series radiator block onto the GTX1060. This really would be the final word in cooling. Expect temps below 30 degrees. And a price tag just shy of $600.

Perfectly fine under 85c

Although the particular GPU is rated up to 94c I'd have to say for a 120w gpu 80c+ is an abysmal temperature.

My current GTX 1060 single fan gpu under full load hovers around 60c at %30 fan speed, my old 250w dual fan R9 280x ran at 75c-78c on a hot day but that is more understandable with a 250w gpu vs a 120w.

Just crank up the GPU fan, you have full control over that.

But yea for modern desktop gpus, under 85*C is perfectly fine.

I already cranked it up long time ago

Then there is no reason it should be exceeding maybe 60-70*C
If so then the PC tower is in a cramped spot or is sorely lacking in overall case airflow.

So 75c is not ok when 99% load?

That temp is fine and nothing to worry about although it is a bit warm for a 1060.

The airflow in your case if probably not all that great or the PC has a lot of dust inside of it.
