Geforce 210 a little hot

[Little red]

i've had a geforce 210 (galaxy's low profile version) for 1 year has been stuck been lightning from another friends computer and he gave it back to me and i played around with it on my PC and it idles at about 55 degrees c..... now that is just plain scary to me even no at load its this hot (well windows aero) but my god.... is there a cooler i could buy to make this card cool again i can find one and why is this sucker so hot

hello?

thats about normal. why you would spend more on an aftermarket cooler than what the card is worth is beyond me. just replace the card, or point a fan at it.

Is their a lot of dust on it? Try cleaning it.The biggest issue with old cards and overheating is due to dust build up.

What is the load temps?

it has no dust build up and i cant afford a replacement ( might be years) before i can even get up to 100 bucks just to get ripped off again

for 100 bucks you could have got a 5770 or gts450......... if you go on ebay you could probably get an 8600gt or something for $30 which would be better.
