Yeah, this particular card doesn't even have it's own fan, so I think it's time to invest in one. Checked it again this morning, and just run the desktop idle with no game running has it running hot. And yeah, the card's huge.

I like the idea of keeping the case open with a desk fan nearby. I may try that while I'm here with it, but otherwise, we have cats...'nuff said.

Thanks all for the advice! I'm going to try a few suggestions and let you know what I find.
