Graphic Cards GPU Heat

OP: You definitely require better cooling for your chassis. The hot air needs to be expelled out else all the components in the system would have a higher average working temperature when your system is own and this degrades the life in the longer run.

There should be a provision for an exhaust fan in the chassis. At least an 80mm fan. Do install one. Or migrate to a better and cheaper chassis like the NZXT Gamma. Costs ~2k.

running crysis for 10 mins gives me MAX temp of 86*C

yes its a bit on higher side

my card does 73c peak on Crysis, get the airflow remedy as suggested by others

what are the Idle core and memory frequencies? i read that they are supposed to be 100/150 but mine are at 300/300

also i dont get the RPM readings in any software...

^^

Cause due to power saving they have been dialed down by the driver. Stress it, and see the screen.
