could be your case layout?

cables... wires...?

have you got chasis fans in there?

keeping the whole area over your mobo/gfx/cpu clear makes a difference, and not blocking the front chasis fan so it gets air in and out through the back.

just boring stuff like that can make a difference.. maybe you have done that though
 
no its not o/c, ive put it in the second SLI slot because it would not fit. didnt realise how big the card was.
 
Sorry being thick

Temperature of voltage regulator is 80c ( does this normally go up this high?)
