My r9 290x goes to 95 degrees.

So this is somewhat normal then?

when my 970 hits 71c i can smell it

My 290x goes to 75c
Be a man, buy a new cooler

If I'm to understand what you're telling us, OP, I don't think blowing hot air from your power supply onto your already hot graphics card will help cool it. If I were you, I'd make sure that the fans on the front of your case are sucking air in, and the fans on the back are pushing it back out, just to make sure you're not either building up pressure, or creating zones. Barring that, I'd either invest in some more case fans, or if worst comes to worst, underclock your GPU a bit so it doesn't get so hot.

Thanks for the response, I have two pull fans in the front, 1 exhaust, and my power supply pulls the air from my graphics card and exhausts it. Or that's what I wanted at least. I will definitely buy some more exhaust and pull fans.

Get polaris

It is normal for a GPU to reach those temps, when gaming.

75 degrees is fine

Download Nvidia Inspector and set the power target below 100%. Set the temp target lower as well.

I'd honestly just add an extra exhaust. I think it also depends on how big your case is. I have an overclocked R9 280 (which should, by all rights, be producing tons of heat), and the highest temps I ever get are around sixty degrees under load, and I only have two case fans. Back when I had six, I was only five degrees cooler, so there's kind of a limit to how much they'll help. That being said, if you have a small case, looking into something bigger might help too.

Thats the flux used on the solder it takes a while to get away.
