Unhappy Holy **** why is my 9700 so hot?

The back of this card gets so hot!

I put a ramsink on it to see if i could cool it a bit, but it gets so hot, i cant hold my finger on it for liek more than 2 seconds or it burns my finger!

I tryed putting the stock cooler back on instead of this crystal orb and its still hot!

I actually attached a hsf to my northbridge facing the back of the card. Keeps it very cool. When OC systems cooler gets here, for 17$ Ill let you know if its worth investing.
