maybe placit next to it? but if you got that little space there maybe its the best idea to send it back and ask for an active cooled replacement!?
edit on the other hand these temps seem to be normal for that card, did just read a test where they say it got better temps at a closed case btw, because of the cooling concept of the card so air from the side may make it worse^^ maybe worth a shot.

Took out my net card and started to use the built-in one. Took the fan from the back of the case, placed it carefully between the bottom of my case and the card, tilted the whole case on its side so the heat rises up. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4570/tempsn.jpg
Because the makers of speedfan want it to work with any motherboard, graphics card etc, instead of hard-coding the sensor inputs, it reads the sensors and ‘guesses’ which sensor is reporting on which value and where the 0 value is. While it’s pretty good at this, sometimes it guesses wrong.
I’d verify that speedfan hasn’t incorrectly assigned the sensor values and is thus falsly reporting the temperatures, given that they are so drastically out from expected values. Try using something like Asus SmartDoctor (Which is going to have all the sensor values for Asus GPUs hard-coded) and see if that gives the same GPU temps.
Zad.
speedfan wanst the problem, after shutting down tf2 i could actually smell plastic.
It took me 40mins, but i took out the mobo from my case, did the same to the hdd and the power supply. Now they are on my table, connected to each other. Managed a MacGyver maneuver by adding the back-end case fan to the passive cooler of the 9600gt with some bobby pins.
Ill add a photo later. It looks funny as hell. And just look at the temps – http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/8293/tempsq.jpg
In an excellent cabinet, temperatures should actually be lower than if you just keep the motherboard on the table. This is because the confined space inside the cabinet allow the fans to funnel the air over the components. Removing the side in such a cabinet would only hurt the airflow, and thus increase temperatures. In Most cabinets, however, the airflow is not good enough to avoid heat buildup, and thus removing the side helps to cool the components. The fact that your case caused such a massive increase in temperatures suggest that the case fans were either malfunctioning, or severely inadequate.
I would suggest installing a fan at the front of the computer, or getting a new cabinet.
Also cooling power is approximately proportional to temperature difference between the fluid (air) and the component(gpu). So if you have an increase in ambient temperature of 10C, you would expect roughly the same increase in gpu temps.

I dont know what’s safe but.
My GTX460 is 58c in normal use.
tf2 fps Lock on 60 FPS = 63c
when i dont lock my fps, its around 70c.
The newest games like DiRT3, BC2 or even an older game GTA IV.
My card has a remperature of 83c.
Bad airflow ;)

thats normal, even temps up to 90 is ok with most high end gpus, max temp is 100C

ghehe my card make alot of noise.
55% Fan speed around 2200 RPM
But a G35 cover it away.
