hey guys, i got a little problem. When im playing games that require good GPU, like metro 2033 or Red orchestra 2, my graphics card goes VERY VERY hot. I can barely touch my pc case. Is there anything i could do? I'm thinking of getting additional cooler or something, because i dont have any additional coolers in my case, only on CPU,PSU and this one(gpu).The thing is that i don't really want to spend much money on this PC.

Edit: also after minute or two when i turn off the game, everything goes normal.

that is still ok temp, a bit warm but not too hot... thou 73c would be better :p
How fast does the fan spin at those temps? GPU-Z will show the % as well, if it's below 100% then there's really nothing to worry about, but if you can easily add some case fans to improve the case airflow that'd be nice.

get some more case fans in there, if there aren't any fan mounts available cut some new ones, side panel and roof are good places to put fans and don't forget dust filters.

also how hot exactly is very very hot? Download GPU-Z take a look at the temps while gaming
