My gpu has been hitting 70-100 Degrees Celcius. It starts to build up the temperature while I'm playing a game even though I have good cooling. Is there anything I could do to help it without buying a new gpu?

Specs:
i5-4670k (Not Overclocked)
MSI z87 G41- PC Mate Motherboard
8GB RAM
Stock Intel Heatsink
Corsair AX-750 Gold PSU
NZXT Phantom 410
2 Stock NZXT Case Fans
1 Quiet Corsair Case Fan

Solution
Use front intake and side instake fans. Try that they throw fresh air right on the GPU to cool it down. Though risky as it would accumulate more dust and safety caution, you may open the side case cover to let more fresh air inside.
