asus dcII cooler

What temps are acceptable under 100% gpu load in games like crysis 3, 290x? Is 84C acceptable as a max temp @ 48% fan speed?

Easy answer is check your frame rates as your temps increase. If they tank at 48% fan speed, and 84 degrees then you might want to adjust your fan curve. If they're still good, then don't worry. We can quote temps for days, but if your gpu isn't thermal throttling then don't worry too much. It'll pull the plug way before the temp fries the GPU on a modern graphics card.

Depends on the cooler type, temp out side and length of use. but anything under 90C you should be ok.

I have this cooler on my 290 and yes it runs quite hot. Max temp I hit is around 75-80, so I think 84 on a 290x is acceptable (although quite high).

Wasn't there the issue that Asus has used the same cooler as they've used on the 780, thus it doesn't fit properly?
