I like this board much better than the Asus board but the temps on the top card are pretty high, with the asus board I could run rthdribl for an hour and the top card temps barely got into the low 80c range. Is this a typical range for Ultra Cards on this board. I have switched the cards to make sure one doesn't run hotter than the other and I get similar results.

What is the maximum safe operating temperature on the 6800 Ultra? 99C seems pretty high. Do you mean 99 degrees F?
