I have the Same graphics card, and what i did was first, take off the heatsink, remove all the cheap paste and replace your with your own, i used an ASUS tube, then just reseat it, then use EVGA precision and I just have the fan on 100% all the time, its relativly quiet compared to the rest of my system so i dont notice it, I also added a PCI- slot cooler below it so that helped a little, in the end, it went from 75* to about 63* on full load for about an hour.
