Answer #1
bad air flow in the case??? Graphic Card fan failure…?
Answer #2
With those specs you better check your case design.
All cases that have a decent addon videocard should have a vent on the side of the case to keep cold air flowing in. What I did since my GPU and Southbridge is passive and I have a vent, I bolted a casefan using some wires. Dropped SB temps by 5 degrees celsius and GPU by 15 degrees celsius.

Answer #7
does the temp rise much more when a game is running?
ATI cards are known for there heat and are usually pretty solid even at those temps. Having said that i wouldn’t be happy at it sitting there all the time. Like everyone else i’d say fan issue and case issue definitely. Never underestimate a good case.
Also that link is not in english…
Answer #8
yes dude temp is above 100� if i play game like nfs or gta 4!
Answer #9
I think you are using a low wattage SMPS. Use a SMPS of minimum 600W to keep your GPU cool. Google “Coolermaster” to get the tips.
