Is a cooling fan needed for ATI graphics card?

i have an ATI Radeon HD 4350 1GB video card, it does not have a fan, only 2 heatsinks on both sides, my question is, should i get a fan for this card?



if so, what kind and how to install the fan?



here is a description with picture of video card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4842979&CatId=3669|||yes, for that kind of cared you should buy a cooling fan since it will easily overheat. If gaming, guarantee!!|||Cards without fans just need airflow around them. Most cases have fans in then that do this. If you are worried about this, add a fan top the case not the card :)
