Got a pic of your PC/case and location of your fans?
Cause it sounds to me that the heat is built up around the lower half of the case and is not getting push away toward the top/top rear's exhaust effectively...

14.6 are the fastest AMD drivers yet, so i'd use those.
Those temps are fine. You can always raise the fan speed higher if you want a lower temp. If you can install a side exhaust fan to remove some of the heat the card dumps in the case, that will help.
Changing the paste will have its benefits, it reduced the temps on my MSI HD 7970 TF III by 10c. You may want to check with whoever your purchased it from though, as some vendors don't like the cooler to be removed as it invalidates the warranty making RMA impossible.

On bf4 I never go above 75c on both cards, I would look into air flow maybe?
Change the side fan to exhaust.
