GTX 460's overheating

I'm buying new fans, but it sucks when I'm in the middle of playing and my damn video cards hit 105!!!!!!

Yes, they hit that temperature. (I have two in SLI) It wasn't a problem until they both were working in SLI. Now it's just heat left, right and center out of the case.

And my central 140mm case fan died.

Sorry to rant. I'm just peeved at my box

Nvidia says the max operating temp is 104C so I guess that's a little high. You could try underclocking them until the fans arrive, esp. if they're factory overclocked over the core 675 MHz spec (mine was 715 out of the box...)
