Re: OT: Graphics Card Overheating
I can probably do that, but it may take me a while (find the digital camera, recharge its batterys, take pictures, download, resize, upload, etc  ). Should get it done sometime today.

Re: OT: Graphics Card Overheating
The space to the left of your CPU fan in the first picture looks like a nice place to add another fan.

Re: OT: Graphics Card Overheating
If that doesn't work, you can always leave the computer case off. It should be fine, if you clean it regually with compressed air, and put the case back on when you'll be gone for a long period of time.

Re: OT: Graphics Card Overheating
They make 'slot fans' that use an open card slot and blow OUT from within the case. Putting one of those on the slot right below your card would help. The only problem is they are usually cheap 'sleeve' bearing devices that will quickly start to rattle and become very annoying.

Re: OT: Graphics Card Overheating
You're missing a fan on the backside of the PC, I believe.
Looking at the picture, you need a 80-120mm fan, you just need to find the spot on the motherboard to attach it once you get it.
