I got a bit of a problem right now.....
my agp gfx card is not getting enough air flow even with 2 pci slots skipped and the slot cover plates off with mesh grills over them to prevent dust getting in im looking for a new sollution, instead of adding more case fans and making my case sound even louder (sounds like a dustbuster right now) so im thinking to try a fancard.
Now i useto have a fancard and it caught fire from dust clogging it after 3 mounths of usage..? coulda been a shitty 1 or somethin, but it didnt provide much airflow like it was hardly noticable...
any thoughts on what i should do? and what kinda fancard i should get?
btw im about fed up with air cooling, im about to switch over to watercooling :D that is if i ever get money lol but yah i need something to be a quick fix. thx
 
You might just tape a case fan to the back of the case, where the pci slot covers are. Have it blowing out, and a case fan low in the front blowing in. It could make a nice jet stream. You could use a smaller fan too, like a 60mm cpu fan if you have any old hsf combos around. Or else just make a cardboard stand and use it to point the fan right at the videocard.

Ghetto mod all the way.
