What are your other parameters? What is your maintenance schedule? What is your temperature normally at? I would only consider 83 alarmingly high if your temp averages something much lower like 75-78. A lot of people will keep their tanks higher (79-82) so for them 83 wouldn't be an issue. So if your tank is not used to the higher temps and you get a temp spike then yes, it could be an issue.

Magnitude of temperature is less of a problem (unless you hit something like maybe 90) than the spike like Kien said. Even a tank can get whipped out if you temperature sits at 78 but you had a spike in a hour and BAM! I have kept my old tank between 81 to 83 so the temperature is not as issue. Probably you had a spike?
When something doesn't look good and I can't find any reason for that, I do WC

If your tank is hot and you have no means of cooling on it put a fan on it get the air moving around my house is currently at 37c and all my tank has on it is a small fan and the water in my 33 gallon is at 28c fans do a great job of cooling tanks in a cheap way
If you have cooling then as others suggested look elsewhere
