Why are these big lettered stuff for. We peps are not blind here I guess.

Anyway 7600GS has got a passive HS , so for a cheap solution stick a small 60mm fan on top of the black HS, that should be enough for some decent cooling

Dude, the solution here cant be got at the earliest by increasing font size!! I take it you want replies for this from the blind too!

First of all, is the card on warranty? If so, before tampering around with it, check the possibility for a replacement from the dealer.
Seeing that you are a new member, a piece of advice. Using large fonts is frowned upon in most forums and is akin to shouting.

And, welcome to the forums!

i have the latest graphic driver software for my card that monitors the temperature pretty well.The card is hardly 6 months old (So i can't even think about replacement:O , since my previous card (XFX 6600GT) got already replaced since it was faulty). right now the card is at a warm 72 degrees celcius. According to Legit Reviews - Technology News and Reviews this is quite normal for XFX 7600 GS. Actually my comp was ON nonstop for atleast 3 days for my downloads to get completed (Since my net connection is limited i want to download as much as i can in this limited time).No wonder, it was quite obvious if on top of that if i play games it naturally would have hung.I remember when yesterday i was playing NFS MW , the temperature had gone to 83 degrees C.Since i am hardcore PC lover i want to make my PC work the best under high temperatures.That's why i am planning to buy a VGA cooler ...........
