My card seems to get to really high temps on games such as CSGO etc. Also when i run Valley benchmark my gpu gets to around 90 which is really bad. Im just wondering if there is anyway to lower these temperatures in anyway. I do have two corsair AF120 fans that i could put on the side of my case to blow air onto my gpu. I need to lower these temps as it is limiting me to how i can run games and which games are going to give me high temperatures or not.

What case do you have, and how is your airflow? How many intake and exhaust fans?
If your airflow is good then replacing the thermal paste on the GPU can help if the original paste has gotten dry and no longer conducting the heat well. Its pretty easy to do and if you use something like Arctic MX-4 then there is no cureing time.

Thats probably enough airflow, so unlikely to be the problem. Yeah I would do the Thermal paste, its really straight forward, the heatsink is only a few screws, mostly from the back of the card. Clean off the old paste, preferably with some isopropyl alcohol, apply a small rice grain sized bit of thermal paste and put the heatsink/fan back on and let it spread the paste.

Clean out the fans and heatsink if you feel confident in yourself cleaning and replacing the thermal paste on the GPU is a good place to start as well. Make sure you have good air throughput and the case has lots of cool air to breathe and the room is cool.
The only reason i didnt bother changing the thermal paste is because on linustechtips's video when he was testing if it made a difference when changing thermal paste and it didnt seem to but ill have to have a look about doing it and can you recommend any thermal paste? and i clean my pc quite often so i cant imagine dust to be the problem
