When i play Starcraft 2. My video card runs around 60c

When i play Counter-strike GO. My video card runs around 85c.

WHen i run SLI on starcraft 2 my video cards do not overheat.

When i play Counter Strike Go. My sli will over heat and get up to 98c.

I have the side of my case off and its cool in my room. So i know its not a air flow problem because it does not overheat in starcraft. But it overheats in counter strike.

Im running GTX 570.

Obviously, Starcraft 2 is not a very demanding game. I would advise you to first make sure you have adequate ventilation, your fans are all working, and that you clean the inside of your case along with all components of dust.

570's use a pretty good amount of power, 60C for starcraft is great. 85C is still okay but it's getting up there at that point. I can't imagine why your running SLI with counter strike, during the free weekend my 7770 was more than enough to max everything out. Throw a fan on the side of your case over your cards, that'll help cool them off.
Ideally it's best to have reference coolers for an SLI setup, what kind of cards do you have? Is there a free PCI slot between them? That would be also ideal.
