Now if you're going to google it for him, might as well do it in style rewind :)

I believe that rivatuner lets you adjust fan speeds. If you still get problems with the fan turned up, you might have a defective card.

Ntune also lets you control fan speeds.

Yup, you can adjust fan speeds and overclock with Ntune. I don't think that it saves the settings though, so you'd have to reconfigure it after every reboot.

Turning the fan up in ntune won't fry your card.

I've never got an error like that. Does it work if you set the fan to 100%?

If it doesn't, try the fan settings on rivatuner.

You won't have any chance of damaging your card unless you try overclock it.

A good cleaning never hurts, either. Dust is your enemy.
