Valheim graphics settings.

I just started using this game and just set it going without altering anything.
My gtx 1080 card shot up to 100% and the temp hit 84.
What effects and settings can i turn down or off

My screen res is 1920 x 1080 @ 144 fps the card fans went it overdrive so i dropped fps to 90
 
You shouldnt be hitting max temp just because a game is demanding. Have you tried creating a fan profile in MSI Afterburner?

If that doesnt help much, you may need to give the case fan filters and GPU heatsink a good blow dusting, add some more fans to the case, or finally maybe repaste the GPU with some new thermal paste. The last one takes a bit of care and research but isnt really that complicated as long as youre careful, look up a teardown of the exact card you have and order some decent non conductive paste to use (its cheap), or you could see if a shop would do it for you, its a quick job if you have experience so shouldnt be hugely expensive.
