If you aren't running any 3D applications, the card automatically underclocks itself. If your idle temps are still high, it's time to crack open your case and clean out the heatsink.

Yep. Set your Windows power options for something besides "maximum performance" and it should throttle way down when not under load if it doesn't already. Get something like MSI Afterburner to check if it's doing so now.
