70 is of course fine. 90 is hot for any current card. Just because they CAN operate at that temp doesnt mean they should. Why do you think amd released that update shortly after the 290/x came out? Because the cards throttling at 95 and some were getting higher. Those temps while it maybe safe to operate at those temps doesnt mean its smart to do over a long period of time. Anyone who has been in the gpu game for along time knows that. The hotter a gpu runs the shorter its life span. History shows us that.
