My GPUs have also been running near 80c (lower during winter and higher during summer but for the most part avg 80) for about 1 1/2 years and they're running fine just like Raja. Obviously anything above 80 isn't ideal and your goal is to get temps below that, but if you can't or if it's cost prohibitive to get better cooling it's okay.
The box fans should work. You won't need AC in most cases, getting enough exhaust out should work.

Actually, for GPUs, mining with the range of temperatures like ~85 degrees is a norm. My mining rigs have been mining for years now with 88 degrees throughout (according to GPU-Z), without creating any mess.
So as long as your GPU temperature remains below (or at) 85-86 degrees, you can consider your setup safe.
88 degrees isn't considered safe for long term operating temp. , working good for you ( i hope to continue that way) doesn't mean that it's a safe operating temp , i am mining for 2 years in a very difficult enviroment and less than 75 degrees is what i consider safe you shouldn't pass that range for long time , it will shorten the lifetime of your gpus So as long as your GPU temperature remains below (or at) 85-86 degrees, you can consider your setup safe.

Manual set your fans to 60 or 65% or whatever you find the temp stable , a lot of ventilation.
If you will use a/c things will be good without all the above.

So I moved my rig into the basement hallway. No windows except stairs going straight to the kitchen which I have exhaust fan in the kitchen and. I have an industrial fan blowing it at the rig...it seems to be working however, being that it's actually warmer today (70's in NY) and I see some of the GPU's are going into the low 70s which it worries me because I think it'll go even higher in the summer. Currently the kitchen exhaust fan is showing 85 degrees... So my question is...how do you guys do it to keep your mining farm cool (if you have an enclosed space like mine). I thinking couple of box fans on each side of the shelf or better yet, get a 13000 btu portable ac and build an air duct that blows cold air directly to my GPU's (that's the last resort since it's the most expensive way).
Any ideas?
