My temperature is hitting around 98c when playing The Forest / BF4 etc
I have a Antec 900 case / with all the case fans with 3 speed switches except 2
I've added another fan to the front , that means 3 front fans 1 top 200mm fan and i've added the optinal side fan aswell! I'm running evga precision x aswell to make sure my gcard is going the fastest speed for the fan while at hot temps , let me know what i can fix .

What does the heat sink look like? Do you regularly clean inside your PC? If not I would recommend a can of compressed air and a soft brush to remove dust as this can build up quickly on a GPU.

Be careful not to spin the fans when the PC is off as this generates a charge.

Yeah, i have the side fan it collects dust like crazy , i use a small vaccum like thing to suck the dust out from the fans, and that maintains the dust removal, but next time im out ill purchase a can of compressed air and see if that helps
 


have you tried cleaning the gpu heatsink and fan itself? probably need to replace the thermal paste as well.
