I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.

My video card has been running very hot for a long time and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Today is extremely hot because it's so goddamn humid out and it is very hot to the touch. I was wondering what I can do to have it run much cooler? It came out of the box overclocked already and I even restored everything to the factory settings. Even before the heat for some reason it was idling at around 79-80C. I'll try and give you as much info as possible on my rig:

AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core
PNY Geforce 9800 GX2 512 MB
COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP w/ all fans included

Here's a ss of speedfan and gpu-z that will hopefully help:
