I have an R9-290x and a 6870 mining and the R9 target temp is set to 90C (default target temp is 95C), so as long as you are under that, you should be fine.

My R9-290x averages around 87-90C and the 6870 hovers around 85C normally. These cards are designed for very high heat so I wouldn't worry too much about mid 80C temps

You can also use power catalyst to set the target temp lower and the fan speed higher which should lower temps as well, albeit with more noise.
