So when running certain hash-types, i'm frequently hitting "GPU threshold" of around 83c with my GTX 1080ti.
Also to note, it pretty much only happens when using Rules.
Build:
Case - NZXT S340
GPU1 - GTX 1080
GPU2 - GTX 1080ti
PSU - 750W
I suppose I could increase temp limit in afterburner or something, but surely this temp is a little too high?
Anything I can do to lower temps?
Update:
GPUs are not FE, GPUs are in Slot 1 + Slot 2 in my motherboard. Would seperating them in Slot 1 + Slot 3 make a difference?

I'm very inexperienced with Asus GPU tweak and MSI Afterburner, although I'm pretty sure, yes.

Those coolers are also blowing heat around inside your case instead of pushing it out. Space then as much as possible and try taking off a side panel.

One gpu is blowing its exhaust onto the other. FE cards don't do that.
If you have room to move them away from each other, that should help a bit.

I might just have to buy a new case, the NZXT S340 is kinda small, and if I place GPU in Slot 3, it's basically a few millimeters away from PSU, so blowing directly against the case again. Thanks for your reply!

I've got my side-panel off now and it's still occuring, was even happening with a Fan blowing directly into it.
By "fan" I just mean this -

This is with my side-panel off, Device #2 is the 1080ti.

Speeds constantly fluctuating around 75-83c and my room is turning into a sauna lol.

Well, you will still get the hot room either way, even if you are able to fix the gpu overheating issue. The cards will produce a lot of heat, and if its in a small room with not much ventilation, it will heat that room fairly quick.
Also, if that fan is not enough to cool the cards, you may have your work cut out for you. If the room is hot, all you are doing is blowing more hot air onto them. First thing would be get the cards away from each other. You could use a riser and try that, might be the cheapest option to start with. If hvac is not present, either environmental cooling (it's fall in northern hemisphere, so nice cool days with an open window nearby should help) or a dedicated spot cooler.
