I am a complete novice when it comes to graphics cards, but I have an 8800 GT and I'm currently idling at 65 degrees at 40% fan speed.

I will say that I'm a bit scared to put the fan speed up past 50% since I don't know if that can kill it faster and/or just give me a giant headache with the sound of it.

Please tell me if I'm just being stupid and should just raise the fan percent.

And yes, I know it's an old card but I don't have the money to upgrade.
