Expected Crossfire Temps?

[Smeyer40]

So I just installed another R9-270x into my system and it is running very well. I bought my 1st one for 230$ and the next for 100$ I could not keep away from that deal and the opportunity to have crossfire.

 

My question is what temps should I expect? I am getting 60c - 70c on max load on BF3 Max settings @ 1080p. Currently I have a 120mm on the bottom of the case as an intake hitting the cards directly and a 140mm in the front doing the same. There is also another 120 in the front for my SSD and HDD but that is also giving more air to the GPU. So for intake I am good.

 

My CPU cooler is in push as an exhaust at the top, (H100i) and an additional 140mm in the back as an exhaust. Everything is at stock, no overclocking I got a 4770k but just can't seem to OC, think that i have a bad overclocker.

 

My case is a Fractal Design Define R4 and this system is nearly quite so I love it.

Expect the top card to be a few degrees hotter (my top card can run as much as 5 degrees hotter).

Those temps sound about right. I used to have 2x 270X's in xfire and got around those temps with ~40-50% fan speed. (MSI cards)
