Have you tried cleaning the dust off?flyingsnail

I second this. There's probably a hefty amount of dust in between the fan and the heatsink. Try blowing some compressed air through the exhaust port and see if that helps any.

8800gt @ 88c stock cooler.

But 95c is to high, the best way to find out it taking apart the cooler and clean it, reffiting the cooler with some new cooling paste.

Clean out the dust and make sure you dont have the 196.75 drivers. Also use rivatuner to set fan profiles to launch at certain temps. I have an 8800 GT and a good idle fan speed that cools and is still quiet is 45%. Theres a good tutorial on youtube on how to set up the fan profiles/scheduler. I'd post it but I'm on a college computer.Spartan8907

Don't use as much as Nvidia did, you should apply alot less. This is a guide on how to re apply paste on a 9600gt. (The one you have should look like it if you use the stock cooler.)

Again, you can use just about any thermal paste compound but don't use that much as some are cunducting and with that on your PCB/chipset pins you can fry something!

Edit: When you have your cooler all of, unscrew the plastic and clean the radiator fins from any sign of dust.

ok Thanx!
