well i dont believe they have a fan for the gtx260 due to the large core, but i would just turn your stock fan speed up.

i have a GTX 260 Core 216 oc'ed to the GTX 260 FTW edition speeds with a 50% fan and never go above 65C. the cooling is pretty good on those GTX 260's id say.

Speaking of upping the fan on the 260, I used rivatuner before but now with 180.XX drivers it seems rivatuner doesn't have the option to up the fan speed, any other program able to do this thats lightweight?

thanks-

You can still control fan manually through low-level system settings instead of driver level settings. It's the drop list just above the one for driver level settings.

Does Rivatuner allow you to monitor the GPU temp?
