let me know if theres anything else you need..

I've just put an external fan to the side of my GPU and it seems to be helping, but i dont understand how the fan on the card its self isnt sufficient enough to cool the card, its pretty much the same fan as was on the card before i replaced it (the fan seems to be working perfectly)

EDIT: even though the fan helped maybe a little bit, it has far from solved the problem.
Important Question: Did you use Thermal Compound on the graphics chip *before* mounting the fan?
