GPU overheating during material creation.

My GPU is overheating after I create so many materials, I don’t know the exact number but it’s low. Once I reach the “limit” my computer ramps up and the GPU goes into nuclear meltdown. The materials are not very complex and like I said the number of materials created is pretty low. The specs of my PC are as follows, GPU: r9 290x 8gb, CPU: fx8350 8core, ram: 16gb. The textures are coming from Gametextures.com. I’m not sure why this is happening. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Remove dust from GPU cooler and air ducts on computer case.
Monitor GPU temperature once you’ve done that. If it still stays at high values (70 degrees and above), then you’ll either need to replace thermal paste on gpu’s heatsink OR you need better GPU cooler.
