3 things. Make sure the system is clean of dust/debris. Pay specific attention to the cpu/gpu heatsinks,
Check airflow. P95 does nothing for a gpu, and or case temps over and above what the cpu will exhaust, and both cpu and gpu should be running alot cooler. You may need to add/replace case fans to accomplish this.
Check fan curves. The 970 and up come with 0 rpm modes that don't turn on the gpu fans till they reach @62-65°. This is user changable, you can disable this setting and allow the gpu fans to spin up as normal. Cpu fan will always spin, but if the cpu is set to silent mode, you'll not see much in the way of cooling ability at higher temps as Intel/amd sees anything below @70° as nominal operating range. This can be changed either in bios or with motherboard software. Set fan curve to a more aggressive setting like performance or turbo mode. In bios, make sure cool'n'quiet is enabled
