Question about 9800GT

[mebeksis]

I recently purchased a 9800GT from BFG (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143151) and I've noticed that according to the program Speedfan, the GPU is running pretty hot. I've had a few times where it has done the artifact/shutdown issue, but not very often, mostly when my house itself is pretty warm. My question is: is there an easy way to change out the cooling on this card or would it require some modding?

Essentially the same as slotting in a cpu only with a few screws involved instead of the intel pins or amd thingy.

Are you turning the fan speed up to 100%? i had an 8800GT and i couldnt play COD5 without underclocking the card because of heat issues, it came stock oc'd by bfg.
