Overheating 290X Crossfire?

[Billiam1391]

I have 290x in crossfire and am running games at 4K but the temps shoot up to ~85C. Is that temp ok for long term gaming with there cards? I have the fans set to 100% after 70C and have good airflow in my rig dumping hot air out the back of the case out a near by window.

If I remember correctly, 85c is standard for that card during load.

Also, try looking at water cooling those cards to increase its OC potential
Or not, if you don't mind your computer sounding like a jet engine

Its pretty normal for the reference cards to hit 95'c, so 85 is fine. They are hot running power hungry cards.
