I have a Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 GPU, and am looking to upgrade the fan on it, but I am unsure of even where to begin. Can I get some advice, like what fans to get, how I know they're compatible, etc.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a fan upgrade, just something to cool it down ~20 degrees.

EDIT: It is the GDDR3 version.

Why do you need to upgrade fan on it?

It's temperatures are 71+ degrees at 700MHz, with the stock fan set to 100% speed.

That's perfectly normal and acceptable. Though adding case fans will help. Take a desk or window fan and have it blow into case, if temps change, add'tl case cooling will help.

My CPU remains at a solid 47 degrees with the same load. I have an AMD Phenom II X4 955.
My case doesn't have many options for added fans. It has a single chassis fan.
Are there fans/water cooling systems I can get to cool the GPU?

That is such a low level card, I doubt that any vendor would bother with the R&D to bring one to market and it they did, would probably cost more than a new case or the card itself.

What loads are you talking about ?.....my CPU sits at a 40 watt load running furmark while the two GPUs are pulling 290 watts each. When gaming, I have never seen CPU temps anywhere near GPU temps unless water cooled.

When air cooled, I overclock the GPUs till they run at 82C under Furmark.

Gaming, mostly. I'm just looking for a temporary solution, as I plan to build my own PC pretty soon.
Would getting a PCI fan help anything; or would that just mess things up? I have an M4A78LTM motherboard.

Again, it is perfectly normal for the CPU to be lower than GPU while gaming .... your temps are "as expected", you don't need to do anything.
