90c is way too high. Did you increase the fan speed on the GPU. Some OC tools will only allow you to set the fan speed to a single setting. If yours does this then set it to at least 75% of full/high rpm.

With MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner tools you can setup multiple fan speeds based on GPU temperature.
