    the cards can withstand uptil about 100+ degrees fine. most cards threshold would be like 120deg before shutdown..

    It'll be fine. Why not just run the fan with thermal control?

    Simple solution for unsatisfactory temps.

    Get yourself a PCI exhaust blower. They might not look like much but believe me they work wonders! I just got the cheapest one I could find, a single slot Akasa one, and it must of knocked at least 8-10C off load.. My card OC'd to 680/1970 maxes out at only 67C!!

    You should really check em out. Got mine for around 5 euro off OcUK.
