Unconventional Cooling method

my gts runs at over 70C on full load. and honestly, im not comfortable with that. so i found a spare case fan and figured, "what if i placed it directly on the top of the card (over the GPU circuitry)". But the question that popped into mind was, "wouldnt it cause some sort of interference and/or damage the card?"

So should i sit my case fan on top of my 8800 or is it too risky?
 
Could've asked this at NFSC 😛

I would not advise placing fan blades too close to the card. Make sure the fan is at least 3 cm away from the circuitry for best results and enough space for hot air to be expelled.
