GPU Passthrough Cooling

I'm currently running an RX 560 in my computer, and I'll be upgrading to a 1070ti soon. I'd like to keep my RX 560 in my rig and use it as a passthrough card for VMs, but neither the RX 560 I have nor the 1070ti I'll be buying are blower-style enclosed cards, so I'm concerned about cooling both of them adequately. My case is a Corsair Carbide 100R, and I currently have two case fans, one intake and one exhaust. I'll be adding two more fans in the front, and possibly two on the top. Will the GPUs be OK in terms of airflow, or should I not bother with the double setup? Any advice is appreciated. 

Everything I know I learned from the internet. Also school.

Rx560 is a low power card, so temps should be fine.

RX 560 isn't a powerful card so it doesn't produce much heat, and it won't make any when idle / not used much.
