Ordered a VGA cooling fan
Since I am the proud owner of a brand spanking new PC, I have started on my endless quest to modify/upgrade it. I noticed my video card is running WAY too hot -about 80c idol and 110c on full load! I ordered (from newegg.com of course) a new VGA cooling heatsink/fan combo and will let everyone know how it goes once installed.
It 'should' let me overclock quite a bit as well.

"In order to overclock I need to generate 1.8 gigawatts in abruptly .25 seconds! Great Scott! "
