I have an XFX 6770 DDR5, It even reaches 90 °C on Battlefield 3 with my case closed, So I opened it and my video card reaches only a max of 75 °C on big battles, I think the best option would be changing my case but I don't really want to do that since I don't have the money atm to buy a new one, I would've get someone to move all my hardware parts on the new case since I don't know how to install everything on my own..

so my question is, would It make a difference if I use a PCI fan cooler like this? (site is in spanish)

Just to cool down the video card, the CPU is cool most of the time with a max of 50 °C on BF3, etc.

First off: Which case do you have? If you can, link to the makers website or post a few pictures of it.
Most cases can accept a 120 m.m. fan in the front, blowing IN, this may be a better solution, because it sounds as if the problem is lack of inflowing air rather than the cards cooling system.

LOL! Dude, you should have posted somewhere else, like teamhardware vzla... you know, they can help you out in our own language.

Still, that fan wont help as much as a cooler blowing from the front or the side of the case. You should note that such blower sucks air from the button of the card, and exhausting it to the rear of the case. A good idea would be adding a fan cooler blowing air to your GPU, also you may try to re-apply thermal paste to your card, if it is old cleaning old thermal paste, and dust will reduce those temps...

If you need further information you can contact me by personal msg and we can talk in... venezuelan LOL

my case sucks tbh :/ I can't put a fan on the front of it, and as putting a PCI fan cooler won't help the only solution I have would be getting a new case with better ventilation

@horaciopz I didn't know that site Lol! and the card is kinda new, I've only used it for a month now, so as a conclusion, I need a case with better ventilation as a PCI fan cooler won't help, thanks guys!
