I have a XFX DD 7870 and it runs at 70c at load sometimes 80c im a bit worried about the temps. I cant really afford another one if this one dies on me. 

No where on AMDs website does it tell you the maximum safe temp and I cant seem to find it anywhere else.

Any ideas??????

Just an average guy with a dream that one day he will own a custom watercooling loop.

Those temps are still safe, you have nothing to worry about :) If you really want to get it down a couple degrees I suggest you add more case fans and clean out the dust in your case but you won't damage the card at those temperatures.

My Current Build: 

Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.11V, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, Asus GTX 760 DCII Overclocked, Corsair CX600M
