They seem fine, I always reboot my router before a gaming session, also ensure that any file sharing/downloading apps are closed before your session. Someone watching hi-def netflix can lag your game.

Make sure you have the latest chipset and graphics drivers installed and the sli profiles are up to date, try with sli disabled too.

new record!:
CPU : 75 C
GPU 1 : 81 C
GPU 2 : 69 C

these are maybe a problem ..

Yeah, you need to look at the airflow on GPU1 are they both the same type of card for crossfire/sli rigs the reference blower style of gpu fan is preferred, you may want to try to mount a fan or 2 over the gpus just blowing directly down on them. or maybe downclock/undervolt the gpus a bit.

Unless you're playing 1440p or 4k though 1 card should run BF4 at 1080p on ultra settings with no problems.

The reason tha GPU1 is hotter is that in the sli configuration the second card is blocking the airflow to the first, anything that can increase the amount of air to the card will help. This is the reason that high end systems with multi card sli are generally liquid cooled.

The reference design cards are made to suck air in through the rear of the card and blow it out the back of the case.
