Hey guys, I was able to reduce the problem somewhat by dropping the max allowed fps and toggling some other settings in the game I was playing. I haven't seen it go over 70 C yet, so I'm hoping it was just an issue with the game and not the card itself. It's weird because I've been playing this...

Thanks again for the continued help. :) Well, I guess 25% is the most it's going to do then. It just never used to run this hot. Maybe it's getting old and needs replaced. It normally runs around 72-74C, but for the last few days it's been hitting up to 86C and even peaked at 96C briefly...
