Hello, I have a radeon HD 7870 in my system and an intel core i3 2100 I know it is not a very good CPU and I will upgrade to a new i5 in a few months. So my question is When I play games at highest settings the GPU runs at 85 degrees. So is it safe because it always shuts off my monitor and the GPU fan ramps up to full speed. Is the temperature raises because of any bottlenecking issue or something else. If 85 degrees are safe then why is it shutting off my monitor and the gpu fan goes to full speed and how to solve that? Thanks in advance.

Could be another issue, check the CPU and chipset temperatures as well: HWinfo should do the job nicely.
It's not excessively hot but lower temperatures don't hurt. ;)
Try turning Vsync on, it caps the frame rate and, therefore lowers the GPU workload in some games.
You can use a tuning program like Afterburner to set a more aggressive fan profile-more noise but a cooler card.
how many fans are installed in the case and where are they? And what case is it.

I do not have any fans installed because it is a very bad case and only have 1 80MM fan spot so I keep the side panel off. I will enable VSync and let you know again.

No after enabling Vsync the temperatures are around 71 degrees but the monitor still shuts off.
