Since you were already warned about the GPU temp in another thread, located here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2624959/65c-gpu-temp.html

I'd say your red screen was probably a direct result of the failed overclock and extreme GPU temps you were experiencing and the card may even be damaged at this point. Try removing any overclock, if the card is still functional, and if you're lucky enough that the card still works, don't overclock until you have sufficient case cooling to keep the GPU cooler supplied with the necessary inflow of cool air needed for it to do it's job. If you have good case cooling, including at least one intake and one exhaust, and preferably two or more intakes and two exhausts, then you're either...

The CPU cooler has NOTHING to do with the GPU temps. And you said this:

when i try to overclock using Gpu tweak my pc always restart or blackscreen...

in your other thread so it would seem you HAVE at least attempted to overclock it.

Two top exhaust fans probably isn't enough cooling. You need at least one intake fan, and two would be better.

Side fans should be intake, however, your case has three front fan locations if you remove the front panel. I'd highly recommend using those before using any side fan locations. Actually, installing two front intakes in the lower two of the three locations there, and one side intake might be the best and cheapest option. These would work fine or you can get higher end PWM models if you wish:
