Zotac Amp! 980TI overheating?

Playing games my gpu gets to about 90 degrees, all fans are spinning really loudly.

Even in World of Warcraft - a game that doesn't use much of my GPU, it somehow gets to 85 and sometimes crashes due to it. With 3 fans I thought it wouldn't get this hot.

Tried my custom fan curve and for some reason it still gets really hot.

Ive tried reinstalling drivers, ive even added a bottom intake and side intake fan - still really hot.

Could the bottom fan and side fan be creating a pocket of air? shall I only have the side fan? its 140mm running @ 850RPM so it should be cooling the GPU quite well.

Shall I try reseating the GPU? Never had this issue before.

Even putting every fan in the case on full it reaches these temps.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
 
Rest of system is fine - CPU never goes past 54 overclocked to 4.8ghz (8350) - VRM's have their own fan that I put on, never go over 65ish.

It idles @ around 45-50 (has the feature where fans turn off if its below 50) but I put it on my custom curve that the fans idle at around 22% so it stays at around 35.

here is a pick from running heaven - http://i62.tinypic.com/2pt9c05.gif, crashed after 10 minutes (may be unstable overclock there though)

Even on stock the temps get really really high. Thought it wouldnt be this bad with a non stock heatsink!
