Ive had my 3770k and gtx 680 sli in a loop for about 6 months,

SO far been happy with the temps, my cpu tops out around 55 and the most ive ever seen on the gpus is 51 or so degrees, that was with supersampling running on some game (witcher 2 i think).

Anyway been playing crysis 3 lately and it seems to have given my system a total kick in the nuts, the heat is just pouring out of the rads and my gpus are nearly hitting 80 and the cpu is 70 or so. This is the only game to have done this.

Should i be worried? Do i need a new case and more radiators?
 
Crysis 3 is a very gpu heavy game so it will stress your system out,you could do things such as better fans,replace the tim,a extra rad these would help
Fans:scythe typhoons
Tim:mx-4

What coolant are you using?
 
I'd be looking at something other than adding more radiators, temps don't just spike 20-30c due to one game, you'd have a job going from 50c gaming to 80c furmark.

Is the temp increase gradual or near instant? Also what parts make up your loop?

My first thought is a flow issue (provided you already have ample radiator).
 
Im using a 200 and a 240 rad, its a 600t so dont have any options for more rads without a case change.
Im using corsair af series fans for the rads
 
Are you running both 680s on a single 240 rad? might be a bit much tbh

Also what pump are you using? Those temps are silly high for custom water.
