Video memory too hot!

Well, I found out what is heating up my case. It is my video card. The memory heat sinks are too hot to touch. Seems I've only had this problem since I upgraded my CPU, memory and mobo. WTF is going on here? Why is this thing so hot all of a sudden?
 
Well if the heatsinks are hot, that is a good thing - it means that they are conducting heat away from the chips. Yeah, maybe a slot blower would do the trick; or if you want to dabble in case modding, you could cut a hole in the case's side panel and stick an 80mm or larger fan in there to blow cool air onto the videocard. You might want a filter though for intakes; while they do reduce airflow, they really do a good job of keeping dust out of the case.
