Video Card Overheating
My video card is overheating when I play video games on my PC.
What can I do to keep it cooler.
Right now I'm being ghetto, got the case cover off and a fan blasting into the case to cool things down.

you don't need anything like that, just organize your wires and get one of those air compressed cans, clean it all up...
oh ya...and having the case off blasting a fan onto it, makes things worse a computer case isin't ment to work like that
you want more detail just ask

Can I turn up the fan speed on the card itself?
