Actually, leaving the cover off your case can make your computer components
actually run hotter beleive it or not :\

As for the heat thing, you may have a model with some dodgy slower Ram or
something, or the card may be too close to something else in your computer
(ie - your CPU, or HDD's) - i had a problem with my voodoo2 locking up due
to heat, and found if i moved it further away from the CPU it didn't crash.

Failing that, try www.3dfxcool.com , or www.thecardcooler.com , or
www.hardocp.com , these sites all have great cooling solutions for your
video card(s), and cpu. :)
