Graphics Card Overheating

I realized that my graphics card (Geforce 6800GT)idles at 59C, but slowly builds up to 70C when I play a game. At this point, my mouse light starts to flicker, and freeze constantly etc etc. There are also chances of getting a nv4_mini.sys BSoD. My question is, is it normal for the 6800GT to go up 10C just by playing a game? It isnt even that graphic intensive (CS 1.6, Warcraft 3). Currently, I have one side of the PC case opened for more air flow. It lowered temperatures a bit (i use to have temperatures up to 80C) but it still doesn't seem to be enough. Are there any options besides buying fans?

Edit: I found out that if I alt-tabbed out of the game, the card temperature slowly decreases to normal temp (59Cish).
 
It just means that you ae geting the higher temps under corresponding higher loads on the card. Check for dust bunnies and that includes the power supply as well.

What kind of case cooling do you have?

How many fans intake air and what size?

How namy out and what size?
