So my temps are at a constant 90C+ when I play some games, 35C at idle. My GPU is an AMD 7950 and the two fans on it are worn out and dont really spin that fast even at 100%. My question is, is there any cooling method that would enable me to cool my GPU apart from opening up my tower and putting a huge ass fan next to it.

I could return my card to where I got it from and see if they can fix the fans on it but I just recently got a new game and I want to play it some before I send off my card for repair/replacement
 
Solution
Dismount your GPU's fans and lubricate their axis, this should get them working like they used to, maybe is also time to reapply thermal paste onto its heatsink.

Otherwise there are aftermarket coolers for GPUs in case the above solution doesn't get temps back to normal.
