GPU at 90c?

My system has 2 660ti's in sli but they are really close together. I cant move the second one away because the only other lane runs at 4x. The hottest one runs at 90c max in game and the other is around 75c. Is it ok if it runs at 90 or should I mod the case for more fans?

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

90 is pushing it for a GPU in this day and age. Give the system a full dusting.

90c is at a point that you would need to be very careful. Move it if you like for better temperatures

You need more chassis fans. Powerful ones or else your GCs will die quicker.

90C is pretty high but it will be able to handle it if you aren't using this at this temp for a long period of time. I would either mod a side fan or a bottom fan mount in order to provide more airflow to your gpus or open your side panel.

90° is ok, but have you tried to change the fan speed manualy with EVGA Precision X or some other tool?

thanks for the idea, i was able to bring the temps down by lowering the fan speed of the secondary gpu bringing the first down to 83. I hope this is a safe enough temp to leave it at but I might also pick up a few 80mm noctua's and fix them to the gpu.

Have you got good airflow in your case?
