Thermaltake VIEW Air Cooling Trouble

I currently have my rig built in a Thermaltake VIEW (the case with the curved windows), but my temperatures are atrocious. I have an i7 6700k and SLI Ref. 980s. I have my AIO Corsair H100i with Push/Pull fans installed into the front, as there isn't a mounting bracket for fans or a radiator in the top of the case. Is there any way I can improve cooling performance without building a custom loop into this case? I don't mind upgrade fans, but am also willing do to mods. I don't want to install a fan into the side window, however.

What are your temps? Are there any other fans you're running?

I have a single exhaust fan. I honestly wasn't expecting such high temperatures from my setup. I went from a setup with front and top intake to just intake.

Like my cards reach 88-91C without an OC under a normal load.

Sounds normal for GPU's being fed hot air.

If you are concerned then remove the front and side panels. Rotate the fans on the front radiator around so they are exhaust, and add a 600mm desk fan as intake instead of the side panel.

What kind of fans are you running and at what rpm? Have you considered undervolting your gpu or cpu?
