Cool Down Video Card?

Is there any way to cool down a video card without buying a PCI fan? My mom won't buy me and I don't have any money and I can't play games :(



Here is my gaming rig. All of the stuff about my comp that I use for gaming:



Manufacturer:

HP Pavilion 061

Processor:

Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)

Memory:

2046MB RAM

Hard Drive:

200 GB

Video Card:

NVIDIA GeForce 6600

Monitor:

Dell 1900FP (Analog)

Sound Card:

Realtek HD Audio rear output

Operating System:

Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2|||only thing i can think of is to pull the side panel off and hook up a small hand held fan to point in the direction of your card..i do this .i have an nvidia 8800gt it has an onboard fan,but i figure a little extra air wont hurt.

hope this helps you..i have a few pc fans i'd be willing to part with.(no charge).let me know|||Your video card should have a video card cooler on it. If you want cool your video card further you could open the side of your computer and have a fan blow on your video card. Why can't you play any games, the computer is ok to play some games?|||what my friend does is he opens his case and sticks an air conditioning fan right next to it so its constantly blowing cool air in...it works for him i might try it for im running into the same problem

|||Why is your video card overheating in the first place? Do you take care of your computer? It's very low end stuff and isn't very powerful, it shouldn't be overheating. Make sure your case fans are working, and clear out all the dust that is probably clogging them up. There isn't any reason for anything in your setup to be overheating, it's a somewhat powerful but not great CPU, the RAM won't get hot, nor will the HDD, and the video card is 3 generations old, I don't see how it can overheat unless you live in 100 degree heat all day long, keep it on playing games all day, and took out all of the fans. I'm running a setup much more powerful and working it hard with no extra fans/heatsinks and it still runs relatively cool.
