Alienware m17x r2 Gpu overheating issue

Hello i have the following problems with my M17x r2 5870m crossfire 940m i7 processor.So the left gpu idle temp is 54-65, 70 while watching videos.Room temp is around 20C .The right gpu is idling at 45.When i start playing D3 my gpus go to 100+C fps drops and becomes unplayable.I use the newest Ati drivers and cap profiles.I have reinstalled the windows once.The gpu fans start working at full speed when the temps go 90+ but that isnt doing much since they get 100+ in 50 seconds while using furmark benchmark..I use A10 bios version.No problems with the cpu at all runs max at 70C.The cards are at stock clocks i haven't touched anything.I dont even use windows aero and so on.The problem is not only playing diablo 3 but all other games,for example starcraft 2 and league of legends.I've watched youtube videos for the gpu temps and they aren't even passing 70C.Link to the video is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YisvQNNhCXA.He is using 4870 Crossfire but i think this is the normal temp for 5870's too.I can't contact the I can't call expert from alienware since i live in Bulgaria.What shall i do?
