While playing crysis 3 I get about 77-79 degrees on my dual x 7970 with an aggressive fan profile, oc-925-1100,1375-1450.voltage -1050ma-1087ma +20percent limit. Is this normal, should I decrease anything; whether this will spoil my gpu ?
Without overclocking it used to reach 69-72 .im using haf combat casing with 4 120mm fans and one huge 200fan (mega flow -cooler master )

Are your case fans setup for push/pull? you want to make sure you have intake flowing towards exhaust. Those temps seem to be abit high but I know I have seen people push 80c. As long as you are below 80c you should be fine, although higher temps will always certainly slightly affect the longevity of your cards. What are you using to monitor temps?
