video card overheating

I just purchased a Chaintech nvidea geforce fx5200 pci graphics card. I was
looking at two different models, the Chaintech that i ordered and a XFX. They
both have the same specs but are made by different companies. I noticed that
the XFX has a large heat sink with a fan in the middle, but the Chaintech
appears to just have a small fan. Will the graphics card overheating be a
problem?

Here are the links to the two different models:

Do a Google search on the two model numbers and see if there are any testing
reports you could read.
