So I'm running (2) Sapphire 5770s in crossfire in my 920 setup. My idle temp is around 40c but during heavy gaming (ex Mass Effect 2) it reaches 90-95c according to Ati control panel. I have plenty of cooling I think (Antec p193 case). Should I be concerned?
 
Well, how long are you anticipating keeping those cards? Sapphires have a 2 year warranty generally, so if you just keep what you have, and it dies on you, then you just RMA it to Sapphire and you're set. If you are planning on keeping them more than 2 years, then its probably more worth reducing your temps, but I'm guessing in 2 years time, it'll be time for an upgrade anyway.
