If you are not having any performance issues like choppy videos and sudden resolution changes dont sweat it, gpu's generally run hot

It might be possible to attach a fan.
There are 2 ways:

1. Just attach fan on the existing heatsink by means of glue

2. get a new heat sink & fan assembly frm the second hand market,and attach it after applying TIM.

In both cases,the fan connector should b taken care of.

imho,u really dont need a fan...temps look fine

what about putting a fan on the side panel of the cabinet facing the GPU if the cabby has the option to? BTW which cabby you have?
