with that beautiful but hotter running temperature of the 780ti reference cooler, would placing a high performance fan to blow air into the intake at the back of the card where the fan is improve thermals? something like a specter pro with 80+ cf/m rating.

don't have one. looking to get one but 83c is a lil higher than i'd like

That doesn't mean the card will automatically run that hot. My SLI 780s reach the very maximum of 70 (only the bottom one). Most of the time my top one runs at around 67 and the bottom one at 64.

They are reference coolers yeah, but I don't overclock them (unless I play Crysis 3 which is seldom) because I don't have to.

If you're running 1 card there shouldn't be any issues with a ref cooler, when you're running them against each other in SLI you might get higher temps but even then its quite efficient. There are so many cards on the market that use after market coolers on them that you could easily pick one that I am sure appeals to your taste. It will have to be one or the other in this case...
