I'm trying to find some resources and figure out if and what I can replace my MSI 1070TI Turbo GTX card's heatsink with. I have a PNY 1060 3GB one handy with dual fans and an open design. My MSI card is easily hitting 80 degrees C under stress, and I need to open up it's airflow because it is designed to pull in through a single fan and exhaust through the closed heatsink and out the back of the computer. Is it an option to swap it with the PNY heatsink?

A lot of nvidia-based cards are based on the nvidia reference versions so have compatible heatsink fittings, thought there are quite a lot of variations.
How warm are the case side getting? If the air in the case is warm, the video card cannot cool properly..
The best option is a sealed-system liquid cooler for the CPU, with the fans blowing the heat straight out the case.
Without the CPU dumping heat in the case, the rest of the machine should run cool.
