My top card will often reach 90*C under heavy gaming, and logging with GPU-z reveals the fan only goes up to a max of 50%. The card will tick up to about 92*C and the fan stays at 50%.

My bottom card will cruise along at 80 to 85*C just fine.

Should I be worried about that top card? I've since put an auxillary fan at the back of the card to blow cool air into the two intake vents and it has helped.

Why don't you bring the fan speed up?
