i just recently installed my 780's today, and their temperatures are at 80 degress at idle and reach over 100 when im playing a game. i have quite a bit of fans and im not sure why its overheating, could it be that their in sli? and how can i fix this. I have an nzxt phantom 410 case, should i get a bigger one and i have triple monitors dont know if that could affect it. i really apreciate it thanks.

if its farenheit you are golden, there is nothing to be concerned about at all. 150*f is only about 65*c that means your cards are just cruising along not even being pushed very hard, with heaps of thermal headroom.
those are temperatures to be proud of, and unless you go with water cooling you probably wont be able to drop those temps, and if you somehow can, it wont be by much.

you can be satisfied with those temps, and your cards are running exactly as they should be!

hmm is that Celsius or Fahrenheit? If celsius, then that is waaaay too hot.. the start to throttle at 80*c so you will re drastically reduced performance after that... they one of the cooler running top end cards, so one may have a bad heatsink or something... do the fans spin crazy loud?

I had GTX570 sli, and those are notoriously loud and hot, in Australia it also gets seriously warm, and after playing bf4 for hours on end in the height of summer (my room can get well into the 30's during the afternoon) they would only max out at about 80*c

however if it is *F, those are beautiful temps.
