I'm going to try with new case fans, any suggestions?

Cooler Master 120mm 2000rpm Sickle Flow.

Quiet even when running full speed.

EU lead free solder starts to get brittle at 90c

Try to improve your cooling.

If the OEM fans go, you can strap cheap desktop fans to the cooler, it's no big problem.

Once i start mining they hit 100% fans @ 85 Deg C

In no time you will kill your fans. Risky if you do not have warranties, not risky if you have time to RMA the cards on their warranties.

People prefer to stay at the limits of 72c-75c, but graphics cards can handle 90c. Also, to save your graphics card fans, 75% and under speed is preferred as well.
