My current configuration experiences the H100i GTX reaching over 40°C under load, with room temperature around 25°C. Should I adjust the fan directions or is this typical behavior? Regarding the additional 980Ti, it's acceptable to add another standard one unless you prefer a watercooled option.

It seems your closed loop cooler is utilizing the fans to expel air through the radiator from within the case. Switch them to draw air in from above.

Are there any front intake fans currently installed?

I don't notice any front intake fans; do you have any installed? Two of them are spinning, and you can see them near the Corsair logo.
