84C is pretty high for that 2nd card. Which MB do you have? Can you space the GPU's farther apart? Will you case allow a side fan to blow cool air on both cards?

I have the Asrock 990fx Killer so I cant space them apart any further. Also i have the NZXT H440 so i cant do to much more about airflow.

Well per Nvidia that GPU can safely reach temps up to 97C. What is your CPU/RAM so I can make sure 750W is enough power? Also have you done any overclocking on the CPU/GPU(s)?

So your system should only be using about 575W so its not PSU issue. How long does it take to get to 84C and does it stay there? If it doesn't get any higher then it really shouldn't be an issue.

If your CPU gives off alot of heat you may want to switch to a closed loop cooler like the Corsair H80i. Even though the CPU is located above the cards it can still cause heat issues especially if your using the stock cooler.

It gets to that temp after a couple minutes of gameplay. After that it stays around 84-85c so i guess i will be alright.

You should be fine. Download a program like HWMonitor if you don't already have one and just keep an eye on your temps. As long as they don't reach over 90C then you should be fine. Worse case scenario is that you if your still having issues or you start getting BSOD then I would sell both cards and buy a 980 since SLI may not work so well on that setup. I had two 780 6gb cards in SLI but there was no spacing and they were the EVGA ones with ACX cooling so one card blew hot air on the other. Even with a Antec 1200 case and a ton of cooling the top card would reach temps of 84C and even though the cards had a top temp of about 96C, @$600 a card it wasn't worth the risk to me so I placed them in separate systems and use a 750ti (from my other system mini-itx) as a dedicated PhysX card and placed it on the lower PCI-E slot.
