I have the EVGA GTX260 Core 216 and I have never had temps that high before. Im getting your after mod temps with the stock cooling.

Hm, might try to find a slim fan. Does this void manufacturer warranty? Never actually done any GPU modding.

Not sure, Both my GTX 280 and GTX 260 ran this hot.

It's with 40% fan.

Looked at Evga warranty.
Short answer, no it doesn't void warranty.
Long answer, you're allowed to apply "aftermarket cooling", which would include removing the fan shroud and heatsink.

but when you RMA it, you have to include the original heatsink/fan. so a modded stock heatsink/fan may or may not count...thats a tough one.

Nice, + rep for you. I'm trying this, I have a vacant slot under my GTX 260. Not that I need it, since the max temps are 81 degrees (OCCT), 73 degrees (Furmark), and 67 degrees (ATItool). But lower temps don't hurt, and I do have some 80mm fans sitting around!

The fan just sit's on the the factory heatsink, So it's easy top put back together.

Same except mine is an XFX. The after temps are my temps with the stock fan.
