Need cooling advice for cards

I have two msi 970's in a corsair 200r and the top card gets really toasty when playing games.
It usually stays in the mid to high 70's and occasionally 81-82c
I'm still using stock fans, and I don't think I'm getting enough airflow..
Could someone recommend either fans or some solution??
With them being that hot stock speeds I really don't have any headroom..
And whats the point of sli if you can't get the most performance out of it

Higher frame rate over higher resolution.

i think 80 degrees is normal for a gpu

not for nvidia, 

 

 

I reccomend some Kraken G10's  Work wonders but expensive.

80's is extremely high for a stock clockspeed maxwell=/
I hear good things about the kracken series, but have never personally tried them.
It looks like it adds a bit of height to the card though.
With stock cooler I've got maybe just over an inch between cards.
Blower designs would've been much smarter lol

I almost really hope that the heat is the problem, because I'm not getting the results I was expecting with my two 970's.
I can barely break 13,000 marks on firestrike????
