@softgoat 80 degrees C is actually fine and well within tolerances. If I recall rightly, 90 degrees is the absolute limit of tolerance for GPUs under full load, and that's kinda the 'red line' for it really. Your gpu is pretty healthy. So long as the fans are doing their jobs, you'll be okay.
Microsoft now owns, or will soon own, one of the best text-to-speech engines for blind power-users, through its acquisition of Nuance. But the code has been abandoned for years. It seems unlikely that this TTS engine is a valuable asset for Microsoft.
