  Nvidia has announce a flaw in its latest 196.75 version Nvidia drivers than can cause GPU burnout due to the fan speed sensing code. Destroying your GPU is a expensive occurance.
  
  A good solution..
  
  I got rid of the POS on-board fan on my GF8800GT TOP when I bought it.
  If your serious about keeping your GPU cool no matter what the circumstances
  
  Get one of these...keeps my GPU around 50-60C at full load.
  Even comes with stick on mini-heat-sinks for the ram chips
